Snakes-a-Sleeping
[Home of Fadeless Splendour reprise]
Excuse me. Oi!
[?]
Anything down there about your soul
Will smash the sun alight
Ah! yield week in, weak out from morn to night
Feelers from acro-

Watched after by angels
And soft as moths watch on like
Beetles around me head
Multi-minded sleeper, sticky with dreams
And slept as snakes-a-sleeping and turning to tears
Soft as moths, spike all dreams inside

They're giving fear inside her aching belly
They have left in there inside
Tiny world, hell sinks me
And sinks my floating isle
Sails down
Whatever you do, let it go
And she bloods, her mouth is red, she bleeds

Snakes-a-sleeping, mouth is red bleeds her bed
Snakes-a-sleeping, mouth is red bleeds her bed
Snakes-a-sleeping, mouth is red bleeds her bed
Snakes-a-sleeping, mouth is red bleeds her bed
Waiting and aching and all green with life
Her mouth is red, make us remember well
And see how strange it sounds
Strange as the word, no it's not the world is strange
Not as strange as the word

Soft as moths, spike all dreams in head
(Snakes-a-sleeping, mouth is red, she bleeds her bed)
Blood her mouth is red, she bleeds her bed
(-ping, her mouth is red, she bleeds her bed, her mouth, sleep-)
I'm here, that is clear and left is you
(Bed-a-sleep, sleeping, mouth is her, she's her bed)
So with swim we'll froth with limbs the blue
(A-sleeping, mouth is red, she)
