Serpent Charmer

[Verse 1]

There's a woman hater with a broken record player

And a dusty compass off to map the country's new behavior

Strange words and we all roll back into the river

Brave boys in the empty coats of men

[Verse 2]

There's a kitchen timer, distractions and reminders

That the roly poly's slowly crawling 'cross your family china

Strange words and we all roll back into the river

And dead dogs only want to live again

[Verse 3]

There's a serpent charmer, pair of shoes and wander

Speeding ticket you got leadin' that last lamb to slaughter

Strange words and we all roll back into the river

Good girls come and kick you in the shin

[Verse 4]

There's a hopeful hunter with a hapless sense of wonder

And a million claw marks on the rock he hid his money under

Strange words and we all roll back into the river

And made men only want to live again
