| Snake song
| by Townes Van Zandt
|
| You can't hold me
| I'm too slippery
| I do no sleepin'
| I get lonely
| you can touch me
| if you want to
| I got poison
| I just might bite you
|
| Lie in circles
| on the sunlight
| shine like diamonds
| on a dark night
| ain't no mercy
| in my smilin'
| only fangs and
| sweet beguiling
|
| Future, he don't
| try to find me
| skin I been through
| dies behind me
| solid hollow
| wrapped in hatred
| 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 thinkin'
| I'll be here when
| you start sinkin'.
