Lyrics

Snakes

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.

I know a snake; I know a snake when I see one in the grass

I see you slithering along, breaking everybody's necks

How's that movie theater job? How's that boyfriend of yours?

How's that endless pain that you can never ignore?

You know what I'm talking about, don't try to pretend

Keeps you up at night, reasons you lost your friends

You said, "I needed an outlet. I needed a way out

I needed so much more"

And it's hard to say, "I'll be alright

I'll die for you. I'll die tonight"

I never had a chance to say

"I missed you, man."

But anyway…

It's hard to say, "I'll be alright

I'll die for you. I'll die tonight"

I never had a chance to say

"I missed you, man."

But anyway…

I needed more than what I had

I needed more than what I got

I needed more than what I had

I needed more than what I got

She said, "I love getting stoned"

She said, "I love getting high, so high"

Said, "I love coming down

But I needed to try"

He said, "I love getting stoned"

He said, "I love getting high, so high"

Said, "I love coming down

But I needed to try

I needed to try"

Bodily functions, I don't wanna need them

And bodily functions, I don't wanna need them

And bodily functions, I don't wanna need them

And bodily functions, I don't wanna, I don't wanna

He said, "I love getting stoned"

He said, "I love getting high, so high"

Said, "I love coming down

But I needed to try, oh…"

He said, "I love getting stoned"

He said, "I love getting high, so high"

Said, "I love coming down

But I needed to try"

He said, "I love getting stoned"

He said, "I love getting high, so high"

Said, "I love coming down

But I needed to try, I needed to try

I needed to try, I needed to try

I needed to try, I needed to try

I needed to try, needed to try

I needed to try, oh…"
