Snakes



Well now I think I make a right

If I remember yes, I think maybe tonight

I may do better when the moon is up and bright

Where I last saw you; what a sight, what a sight

(I… shed your skin… I’m coming… shed your skin…)



Between the canyon and the sky

where you can’t hide, you can’t hide

the desert sky has a million eyes

and the stars are on my side

(I… shed your skin… I’m coming… shed your skin…)



I think I feel you in the sand

Not far away; tiny tremors of the land

I lay and wait

I’ll see your eyes, your big white eyes

They won’t see me

But you and I will meet tonight

Under a Joshua tree

(shed your skin… I’m coming… shed your skin…)
