The Snake And The Crown
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.
Today I got to thinking
The world's in a strange way
Feels like I'm at a 7-11 when a robbery takes place
Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face
Or do I dive for the gunman
Before he makes his break,
Does a 45 go off
And the bullets richochet
This is not some random nightmare
See for me, this is everyday
(chorus)
I've been waiting for this train to come round
I've been waiting for this deal to go down
I've been looking for the things not found
So far, so far away
I'm just doing my best today
Cigarettes and alochol
And a few minutes to pray
But it don't do what it used to
So we'll have hell to pay
A penny for your thoughts
A penny for my cliches
I tried to get some distance
I tried to espace
But this nightmare's so persistent
In a shakespeare kind of way
Be not afraid
Oh, fuck that, be very afriad
(chorus)
Who sold out
We did we did
Who let you down
We did we did
Who...crown
We did
