Snake
from the album "Drowning With Land In Sight"

(Mike Roe/Mark Harmon)


I'm the path of least resistance
I'm a highway wide and clear
I'm the French bread in the desert
That you'll eat when death is near

I'm a snake (I stand tall)
Snake (Watch me crawl)

Put me on a pedestal
Put me on a pulpit
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I can be a victim
I can be a culprit
Slither, slither, slither, slither

I'm a snake (I stand tall)
Snake (When I crawl)
I won't break (When you fall)
Snake (Up against the wall)

I can be a president
I can be a pawn
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling in your TV
Crawling on your lawn
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling up your bedpost
Crawling thru your door
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling out your bookcase
And right across the floor
Slither, slither, slither, slither

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 (Watch me crawl)
I won't break (When you fall)
Snake (Up against the wall)

I'm crawling when you're happy
Crawling when you're sad
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling up your mother
And I'm crawling down your dad
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling on your lovers
And I'm crawling on your friends
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling everywhere
'Cuz my crawling never ends
Slither, slither, slither, slither

I'm crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling
Slither, slither, slither, slither
I'm crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling
Slither, slither, slither, slither
