Snake Songtext
von Jerusalem

Snake
I′m deep inside you
Snake
So deep inside you
Snake
I'm deep inside you
Snake
Shake

When you were younger and your star was shining bright
You didn′t understand the politics of fright
But now you're older and the flame is fading fast
Your wide-eyed innocence is in your distant past


Snake
I'm deep inside you
Snake
So deep inside you
Snake
I′m deep inside you
Snake
Shake

Just one little apple and you had to shake the tree
Just one little bite opened the door to vanity
Just one little goose step started armies on the run
Just one little fruitcake stealing currants from a bun

Oh, what′s good, what's bad?
Just have it all before you′re had
Oh, what's false, what′s true?
Drink it all in (Drink it in) before it swallows you

Snake
I'm deep inside you
Snake
So deep inside you
Snake
I′m deep inside you
Snake
Shake


When your life and times are notated in a book
Only your photographs will get a second look
No one needs your history, no one needs that much
No one reads your clever words, they need a gentle touch

Snake
I'm deep inside you
Snake
So deep inside you
Snake
I'm deep inside you
Snake
Shake

When the dust is settled and the ritual is done
Who cares how smart you were or if you′d had some fun?
Who will remember in a thousand years or more?
Just another fruitcake with a maggot at its core

Oh, what′s good, what's bad?
Just have it all before you′re had
Oh, what's false, what′s true?
Drink it all in (Just breathe it all in) before it swallows
Before it swallows you
Before it swallows you

Here's the time
Drink it all in
Before it swallows you
