Townes Van Zandt — Snake Song Flyin Shoes Version

Well, you can't hold me, I'm too slippery I do no sleeping, I'm so lonely Well, you can touch me if you want to But I got poison, I just might bite you We'll lie in circles on the sunlight Shine like diamonds on a dark night Ain't no mercy in my smiling Only fangs and sweet beguiling Well future, he don't try to find me Skin I've bitten through dies behind me Solid hollow, wrapped in hatred Not a drop of venom wasted You can slip in, try to find me Hold your breath and flat deny me Makes no difference to my thinking I'll be here when you start sinking
