The Snake and the Crown Lyrics by Raine Maida

The Hunters Lullaby

0

Today I got to thinking the world's in a strange way
Feels like I'm in a 711 when a robbery takes place
Do I hide behind the counter with my hands covering my face
Or do I dive for the gunman before he makes his break?
There's a 45 go off
Do the bullets ricochet?
This is not some random nightmare
See for me, well this is every day
I've been waiting for this train to come 'round
I've been waiting for the deal to go down
I've been looking for the things not found
They're so far, so far away
I'm just doing my best today
Oh, there's cigarettes and alcohol and a few minutes to pray
But it don't do what it used to, so we'll have hell to pay
A penny for your thoughts, a penny for my clichés
Oh, I try to get some distance, I try to escape
But this nightmare's so persistent in a Shakespeare kind of way
Be not afraid. Oh, fuck that, be very afraid
I've been waiting for this train to come 'round
I've been waiting for the deal to go down
I've been looking for the things not found
They're so far, so far away
But I'm just doing my best today
Who sold you out? We did, we did
Who let you down? We did, we did
Who put on this crown? We did, we did
