Snake Oil

Well I never

I never saw

Anybody move

Like that before

Why do we spend so much time here on the floor

Looking up like I did before

Your intoxicating movement ate away

At my sad eyes and my headache

I never

I never thought

I'd be falling

I'd be caught

I see a bone and a straw in the dirt

White Nevada light, I squint against his shirt

My sleeping pills melted and I sleep fine

The tears on my shoulder won't keep me up tonight

The snake around my finger starts to unwind

Soak up the weather

Suck up the sun

Into your bones

Then move on

I see a snake and a girl in the snow white Nevada light

I feel the itch to go

The tears on my shoulder freeze then boil

I wouldn't be here if not for your snake oil
