Townes Van Zandt Lyrics

"The Snake Song" lyrics


By townes van zandt
You can't hold meI'm too slipperyI do no sleepin'I get lonelyYou can touch meIf you want toI got poisonI just might bite you
Lie in circlesOn the sunlightShine like diamondsOn a dark nightAin't no mercyIn my smilin'Only fangs andSweet beguiling

Future, he don'tTry to find meSkin I been throughDies behind meSolid hollowWrapped in hatredNot a drop ofVenom wasted
You can slip inTry to find meHold your breath andFlat deny meIt makes no differenceTo my thinkin'I'll be here whenYou start sinkin'.
