lyrics

Snake Song

You can't hold me
I'm too slippery
I do no sleeping
I get lonely
You can touch me
If you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you.

I lie in circles
On the sunlight
Shine like a diamond
On a dark night
There ain't no mercy
In my smiling
Only fangs and
Sweet beguiling.

The future, he don't
Try to find me
The skin I been through
Dies behind me
A solid hollow
Wrapped in hatred
And not a drop of
Venom wasted.

You can slip in
Try to find me
Hold your breath and
Flat deny me
It makes no difference
To my thinking
I'll be here when
You start sinking.
