Taking Up Serpents Again
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Just like Lon Chaney gonna climb down and Haunt you in you're sleep
Just lie any decent funeral gonna pour out in the street
If it gets too cold this winter time gonna flood the place next Spring
You can bet it was a sure thing
Just like that son of a bitch gonna wind up in the Whitehouse everytinek
And the silver's there just to keep your mind off the copper in your dime
And the war between the States was just a bell they had to ring
You can bet it was a sure thing
And I'm taking up serpents again
And I'm speaking in tongues unknown to men
I thought that was a letter that I would never have to send
But I'm taking up serpents again
Yes I'm taking up serpents again
Just like the horses trapped in the salt mine when the company sealed the place
And after they serve the coffee there's a stain running through the lace
And after flying through that fire, man, there ain't a feather left in that wing
You can bet it was a sure thing
And I'm taking up serpents again
And I'm speaking in tongues unknown to men
I thought the cracks through that heart was finally on the mend
But I'm taking up serpents again
Yes I'm taking up serpents again
