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.
You set the snakes loose inside my belly
They're done with my supper
They start on my endocrine lining
You said: Please stop your wining!
This isn't a love song
I'm through writing those for you
All the while you claimed
The ghost in you lives, but it's dead
It's inside my head
And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called
Oh, when you sigh and you cry
I figure you probably lie
And I'm here waiting
And all I can see
If there's anyone fooled then
It's probably me
And I'm here waiting
And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called
All that I see is that it's midnight and you haven't called
All that I know is I'm left with frustration
And this hyperactive imagination of mine
I would love to lay all my faith in you
Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?
I would love to but
It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over
You say you're at Mother's but do you mean lover's?
Are you in the amorous arms of another?
It chills every bone in me
Straight to the core of me
Your girlfriend concurs with you
Is she your alibi?
How did you get that sweet little girl to lie?
Meanwhile I'm here waiting
And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called
All that I see is that it's midnight and you haven't called
All that I know is I'm left with frustration
And this hyperactive imagination of mine
I would love to lay all my faith in you
Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?
I would love to place all my trust in you
Why can't I?
'Cause it's over, it's over, it's over, it's over again
This isn't a love song
I'm through writing those for you
All the while you claimed
The ghost in you lives, but it's dead
It's inside my head
And all that I know is that it's midnight and you haven't called
