Waiting For The Snake

I don't know what I like, I don't know what I am
I don't know where I'm going and I don't give a damn
I say the world is crazy, know there's no one to save me
I know a few things baby; I know we're in a jam
Black hole in the Sun, I don't like the way we always run
And if your eyes are closed I better stay awake
You sleep like an angel baby, but I know you're truly crazy
And I think that we've grown lazy, waiting for the snake
You are a mystery, you are a bitch to me
You don't see why I stay why I don't turn and run
You think your life is good, but you're a babe out in the wood
Do what you think you should, sleeping with the gun
Black cloud on the Moon, feels like the rain is coming soon
The way I feel tonight, you'll never see me break
You live in constant sorrow, and I refuse to follow
We might not see tomorrow waiting for the snake
I think you know the score, i don't know what we're waiting for
Hiding behind the door, don't get us any place
I know that you believe, and so before the freeze
Before we feel the squeeze, before the monster wakes
Black Death in the room, you sing a different tune
And it will bring your doom, the city starts to shake
I see the world is dying, you know I sure aint lying
I see you pale and crying, waiting for the snake
