Serpent Charmer

There's a woman here with a broken record player

And a dusty compass off to map the country's new behavior

Strange words that we hold on back into the river

Brave boys in the empty coats of men

There's a kitchen timer, distractions and reminders

Rolly-pollies started crawling across your family's china

Strange words that we hold on back into the river

Dead dogs on the winter night again

There's a serpent charmer, pair of shoes and wander

Speeding ticket, you're not leaving that last land of slaughter

Strange words that we hold on back into the river

Good girls come and kick you in the shin

There's a hopeful hunter that has a sense of wonder

And leaving claw marks on the rock he hid his money under

Strange words that we hold on back into the river

And made men only want to live again
