Snake

Album: It's For You

I'm the path of least resistance,
I'm a highway, wide and clear,
I'm the French Bread in the desert, (that's the...that's the bakery coming in there)
That you'll eat when...

I'm a snake, I stand tall,
Snake - watch me crawl.

Put me on a pedestal, or put me on a pulpit,
I could be a victim, I could be a culprit.

I'm a snake, I stand tall,
I'm a snake - watch me I crawl,
I won't break when you fall,
Snake - up against the wall.

I could be a president, I could be a pawn,
I'm crawling in your TV, crawling 'cross your lawn,
I'm crawling up your bedpost, crawling down your door,
I'm crawling out your window and right across the floor.

(Good Lord, what do we do now?)
(Take it, Dave, play a lead, earn your bread and butter here)
(Oh, sheesh)
(Deep)

Yeah.

I'm the water in the desert that you knew was a mirage,
I'm the fake gem in the pawn shop that you hocked and then re-bought,
I'm the talent that you buried, and lost interest in and on,
I'm the life that you made sport of; dropped the ball and then you run.

I'm a snake, I stand tall,
Snake - when you fall,
I won't break when you fall,
Snake - up against the wall.

I'm crawling when you're happy, crawling when you're sad,
I'm crawling up your mother and I'm crawling 'round your dad,
I'm crawling on your lovers and I'm crawling on your friends,
I'm crawling everywhere 'cause my crawling never ends,
I'm crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling,
I'm crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling.

3, 4.

(Wow)
(Wow)
(John, will you bring me a toilet roll? - Serious, I need to blow my nose up here)
(Sorry...I'm sorry, folks, lost my head)
(After that song, I...)

(Only thing I ever catch)
(Wow, that's the first time I've been applauded for that; most people tell me to stop)
(Original artwork)
(What do you think, Dave? I don't know...this is Pennsylvania though)
(I didn't make this up, but I've sung it churches)
