Slither.

lyrics

Venomous highway
To the promised land
A lonely pilgrim
In the desert sand

Pop culture
Will surely ascend
Elevate me now
Baby I've got the bends

It's serpent time
It weaves through your life
Like a shadow of a memory
You can't quite find
It's serpent time
Tongue's out to taste
A flicker of the past
You won't look at my face

Serpentine colours
Constrict like a belt
Don't say I love you
If it's not how you felt

Three jacks
And the nine of cups
Ouroboros
Eating themselves up

It's serpent time
It weaves through your life
Like a shadow of a memory
You can't quite find
It's serpent time
Tongue's out to taste
A flicker of the past
You won't look at my face

I know your regrets
You wear them like a badge
In the heat of the catch
Why were you so sad?

You shed your skin
Like an unruly guest
What was your sin
How could I have guessed?

It's serpent time
It weaves through your life
Like a shadow of a memory
You can't quite find
It's serpent time
Tongue's out to taste
A flicker of the past
You won't look at my face
