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.
You have body, you give soul
You're a soul survivor, it's so, it's so clear
I like long gone songs of old,
You sing throughout the year.
It'll be like love is for
The rest of our lives
I won't have to run around,
Baby you, won't have to think twice
Let me tell you somethin' 'bout those
Snakes in the grass
A bunch of bleeding bug bites taught me
How it won't last.
yeah yeah yeah yeah
ohhh ohh
go
hummm
Give me your body won't you
Give me your sweet soul
Love will you take over our love
Will you take control
Pick a shovel,
Fill my little holes
Drive me to the red line
And climb my iron flagpole
There's a [big]
There's a [rage for love]
That's calling out there
All these [purple spheres]
Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
You will eat off my fears.
Ay yi yeah, yeah yeah, yeah yeah,
yeah.
do-doo.
yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
do-doo.
Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
You will eat off my fears
Drive me to the red line
And climb my iron flagpole.
Where the free soar,
Up where it glistens
yeah-yeah...
