Townes Van Zandt
Snake Song (Sky Blue Version)
[Verse 1]
Well, you can't hold me, I'm too slippery
I do no sleeping, I'm so lonely
Well, you can touch me if you want to
But I got poison, I just might bite you
[Verse 2]
We'll 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 future, he don't try to find me
Skin I've bitten through dies behind me
Solid hollow, wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of venom wasted
[Verse 4]
You can slip in, try to find me
Hold your breath and flat deny me
Makes no difference to my thinking
I'll be here when you start sinking
