You are smiling,
i reckon you crave for a drink
i'm watching silently,
without as much as a blink--
i am snake, and i am keeping my cool
get closer to me,
if you wanna meet me in full
I know warmth of the rock
i know smell and shade
but when birds fly over my head,
a pair of wings is all i wish i had
but i am snake,
and i am keeping my cool
get closer to me,
if you wanna face me in full
Sometimes i chase'em away
other times i wanna sing'em a song
yet other times i want to crawl away
and shed my skin before long--
but i am snake,
and i am keeping my cool
get closer to me, if you wanna know me in full
You are smiling, i guess you want a reply
Give me your hands, i'll show you
how living tree turns into ashes
i am snake, forever keeping my cool
look at your palms: now you know me in full
