Quetzalcoatl Lyrics by Kathy Mar

0

Time Winds Tavern (1985)

Quetzalcoatl had a skin all green and mottled
And it stayed that way through all the skins he shed
And though he had a silver tongue
Nobody could stop laughing
Long enough to even hear the things he said
So he decided that a feather coat would do the trick
And whether that was wise or not he set rght out to get it
He connived a spider into spinning him a silken chicken skin
And doing it for nothing - so he let it

And he was slick
Yes he was slick
He could hide in your clothing
And even you would miss the place he hid

And he could talk
He talked so slick
Well, they say that he could talk
The feathers off a chicken...
And he did!

Quetzalcoatl took a very fancy bottle
Of the finest liquer to the chicken farm
And he kept that rooster drinkin'
'til the feathers started thinkin'

It was warm enough to do his body harm
And then he offered sweetly
To replace their feathers neatly
With the lightest coat of spider silk around
He got those plumes together
And he made himself a feather skin
And slithered off in bliss along the ground

And he was slick
Yes he was slick
He could hide in your clothing
And even you would miss the place he hid

And he could talk
He talked so slick
Well, they say that he could talk
The feathers off a chicken...
And he did!

Why, he was so slick
They used him for an Air Hockey table!

He's been banned with twelve miles
Of the Califonia coast!

Why do you think they call it
"Snake Oil?"
