The Snake Song (1) Lyrics by Steve Von Till

Songs of Townes Van Zandt

2012

Well, you can't hold me, I'm too slippery
I do no sleeping, I'm so lonely
Well, you can touch me if you want to
But I got poison, I just might bite you
We'll lie in circles on the sunlight
Shine like diamonds on a dark night
Ain't no mercy in my smiling
Only fangs and sweet beguiling
Well future, he don't try to find me
Skin I've bitten 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
Makes no difference to my thinking
I'll be here when you start sinking
