Snakes by Max Gowan Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was heading for the mountains, I was running from my oldest foes
This attack that they've been mounting has got me on my toes
Money moving in and out, there was not a single question posed
Got mixed up in the wrong hands, now someone's asking for my head to roll

[Chorus]
This time when the snakes come by, they smile but they're not gun shy
Hide a little bit longer
Oh if you turn me in, I'll tread but I can't quite swim
Hide a little bit longer now

[Verse 2]
I was phoning to my family, dropping quarters everywhere I go
Something nipping at me heels now, I gotta let you know
Heard a knock on my door, hand outstretched asking what I'm waiting for
Got a blunt knife in the other, you're not gonna hear me call no more

[Chorus]
This time when the snakes come by, they smile but they're not gun shy
Hide a little bit longer
Oh if you turn me in, I'll tread but I can't quite swim
Hide a little bit longer now
