lyrics

There is no twilight, there is no dusk
Just a sunny day suddenly turned dark
A kaleidoscope of 1000 ideas
Becomes a straight line

A snake behind glass he’s a snake behind glass

A 20 acre patch with cotton for cash
And vegetables for the table
For better for worse, for worse forever
This farm on government land

A snake behind glass he’s a snake behind glass

How high’s the water Mama?
I’m busted I’ve got stripes

He stayed awake for 72 hours straight
Slept for thirty and dropped 60 lbs in weight
He’s got painkillers and he’s got amphetamines
When he prayed he wore out his knees

A snake behind glass
He’s like a snake behind glass
Snake behind glass Snake behind glass
