Calming the Snake Lyrics by Sonic Youth

The Eternal

2009

[Verse 1]
Come on down
Down to the river
Come on down
I want to feel you shiver
Dark on the edges
Golden on top
Floating down the river
You're so hot
[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh oh ooh
[Verse 2]
Come on down
Down to the river
Come on down
I want to feel you shiver
The sight of death
Is sure to deliver
Come on down
I want to hear you quiver
[Bridge]
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh
Oh oh oh oh oh ooh
[Outro]
Corpses' drapery
Rusting, sliding, sliding, sliding
Endless
