Lyric Snake song

by Townes Van Zandt

You can t hold me
I m too slippery
I do no sleepin
I get lonely
you can touch me
if you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you


Lie in circles
on the sunlight
shine like diamonds
on a dark night
ain t no mercy
in my smilin
only fangs and
sweet beguiling


Future, he don t
try to find me
skin I been through
dies behind me
solid hollow
wrapped in hatred
not a drop of
venom wasted


You can slip in
try to find me
hold your breath and
flat deny me
it makes no difference
to my thinkin
I ll be here when
you start sinkin .
