Snake Skin Lady by Robert Forster Lyrics

Why must I see
Why must I see

Walk the streets smell the grass
Coming out of the homes as I pass
People high on grass

There was a girl we didn't know
She used to come to early shows
She was someone we didn't know

Why must I see
Why must I see

She used to dance on her own
She had friends but she danced alone
She had these friends

All alone on the floor
The bands would play 1-2-3-4
And it was hot at the door
Why must I see
Why must I see

She had these pants made of skin
Imitation snake I think that is where they'd been
She had these pants

I walked outside and as she went past
The familiar smell Queensland grass
People high on grass
