Townes Van Zandt Snake Song

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
Babe you can’t hold me I’m too slippery
I do no sleeping I get lonely
But you can touch me if you want to
But I got poison I just might bite you

[Verse 2]
Lie in circles on the sunlight
Shine like diamonds on a dark night
Ain’t no mercy in my smiling
Only fangs and sweet beguiling

[Verse 3]
Well the 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

[Verse 4]
Babe 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
