Snake Song by Townes Van Zandt

You can’t hold me
I’m too slippery
I do no sleepin’
I get lonely
You can touch me
If you want to
I got poison
I just might bite you


Lie in circles
On the sunlight
Shine like diamonds
On a dark night
Ain’t no mercy
In my smilin’
Only fangs and
Sweet beguiling

Future, he don’t
Try to find me
Skin I been 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
It makes no difference
To my thinkin’
I’ll be here when
You start sinkin’.

Burn my lungs on the coal 

Get so high but I feel low 

And I should know to back away 

But only have the strength to stay 

Well you taste like whiskey and you smell like smoke

Drowning in your words as soon as you spoke 

Try to find a different direction 

I’m drawn to you My New Obsession 

No ones taken me away the way you did 

No ones taken me away 

Clouded my mind, my dime, my lime light, delayed me from flight 

Unable to see from wrong to right 

Try to find a different direction 

I’m drawn to you My New Obsession 

Spin my mind round the room

Inhale the bittersweet perfume 

Round here days turn to night and nights turn to day 

Too wrong or too right theres no other way 

Well you taste like temptation, smell like sin 

Looking for a fix to make my blood thin 

Try to find a different direction

I’m drawn to you My New Obsession 

No ones taken me away the way you did 

No ones taken me away 

Clouded my mind, my dime, my lime light, delayed me from flight 

Unable to see from wrong to right 

Try to find a different direction 

I’m drawn to you My New Obsession
