Snakes Lyrics by Deva Mahal

Run Deep

2017

[Intro]
Hey-ay-ay-eay
Woah-o-oh
Hey-ay-ay-eay
Woah-o-oh
Hey-ay-ay-eay
Woah-oh

Hey-ay-ay-eay
Woah-o-oh
Hey-ay-ay-eay
Woah-o-oh

[Verse 1]
Slither sinner like a snake in the grass
Wolf in sheep's clothing with words made of glass
Crept upon me like a shadow on a wall
Couldn't prepare me for how happy I would fall


[Hook]
And I say oh girl, step on the scene
Don't you know the world is so mean ?
Oh girl, caught in between
Don't you know the grass ain't green ?
Oh girl, step on the scene
Don't you know the world is so mean ?
Oh girl, caught in between
Don't you know the grass ain't green ?

[Verse 2]
Somke and mirror, what a spell you have cast
Cruel predictions have all come to pass
The earth is shaking and the sky's tumbling down (tumbling down)
Shaking my tree 'til my leaves fall to the ground
And I said fall to the ground, fall to the ground
Fall to the, fall to the, fall to the ground

[Hook]
And I say, oh girl, step on the scene
Don't you know the world is so mean ?
Oh girl, caught in between
Don't you know the grass ain't green ?
Oh girl, step on the scene, (step on the scene)
Don't you know the world is so mean (world is so mean) ?
Oh girl, caught in between
Don't you know the grass ain't green ?

[Bridge]
Don't you know the word is on me
D-d-d-d-don't you know (don't you know)
Don't you know the word is on me
D-d-d-d-don't you know (don't you know)
D-d-d-d-don't you know (don't you know)
D-d-d-d-don't you
D-d-d-d-don't you
D-d-d-d-don't you know

[Hook]
I'ma look to the mountains, look to the mountains, look to the mountains
And I'ma take you to the sea
Look to the mountains, look to the mountains, look to the mountains
And I'ma take you to the sea

Look to the mountains (step on the scene)
Look to the mountains (the world is so mean)
Look to the mountains (step on the scene)
And I'ma take you to the sea (world is so mean)

[Outro]
And I'ma take you to the sea (world is so mean)
And I'ma take you to the sea
