Snake Behind Glass

Lyrics

There is no twilight, there is no dusk Just a sunny day suddenly turned dark A kaleidoscope of 1000 ideas Becomes a straight line A snake behind glass He's like a snake behind glass A 20 acre patch with cotton for cash And vegetables for the table For better for worse, for worse forever This farm on government land A snake behind glass He's like a snake behind glass How high's the water Mama? I'm busted, I got stripes He stayed awake for 72 hours straight Slept for thirty and dropped 60 lbs in weight He's got painkillers and a guitar case full of amphetamines When he prayed he wore out his knees A snake behind glass He's like a snake behind glass Snake behind glass He's like a snake behind glass One, two, three, four Alright
