I see all I sell

I sell all I see
all that is not to be sold
all that is not to be seen
I sell all I see

the soul up front
the devil on layaway
I see all I sell

all that cannot be viewed
all that cannot be bought
I sell all I see

an eyeglass
a glass eye
I see all I sell

vendo tudo

vendo tudo
tudo que não é para vender
tudo que não é para se ver
vendo tudo

a alma à vista
o diabo a quatro
vendo tudo

tudo que não se pode olhar
tudo que não se pode comprar
vendo tudo

uma lente usada
um olho de vidro
vendo tudo

I Love You

Could I ever
Ever say really
Really I never

Never once had
Had a chance
A chance to have

To have a word
A word or two
Or two with you

I …you

And one more
One more and
More and then

And then there
Then there is
There is three:

One, two, three...
