Snakes Songtext
von Antenna

Chasing snakes in the summertime
Sun just bakes until about nine
Then it goes down fast
Abandoned cars smell of gasoline
Smokey bars are still a runaway′s dream
Don't you want it to last?

Oh, I remember how we used to say
We′d catch us a rattlesnake someday, oh

I don't mean to stare, can we make amends?
You're standing there like a satellite
Sends shivers down my spine
Black snake slides underneath a stone
I don′t mind ′cause we're all alone
And I know you′re mine

It isn't there no more, where we used to go
Don′t leave me hanging, don't you know?


I light a candle for the years gone by
So I′ll remember when I think I'm gonna cry
You kept the magic locked up in your little box
Stayed inside 'til the rain went by
Teardrop in your eye

Love can fade like the summer sky
I stay in the shade and I don′t ask why
And I won′t get burned
Copperhead creeps up behind a tree
Lover sleeps right next to me
Guess I never learned

It isn't there no more, where we used to go
Don′t leave me hanging, don't you know?

I light a candle for the years gone by
So I′ll remember when I think I'm gonna cry
You kept the magic locked up in your little box
Stayed inside ′til the rain went by
Teardrop in your eye


I light a candle for the years gone by
(I light a candle for the years)
So I'll remember when I think I'm gonna die
(Think I′m gonna die)
You kept the magic locked up in your little box
Stayed inside ′til the rain went by
Teardrop in your eye

For the life of the grass
Oh, life
Oh
