Townes Van Zandt — Snake Song lyrics

Lyrics

You can’t hold me
I’m too slippery
I do no sleep in 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'.
