Lyrics

How you guys holding on up there podsmith

Well it's sure is nice to be back

You guys have a very nice, very nice place here

We're gonna play you guys a song about someone we really don't like

This song is called the snakeman

And before we do that we're just gonna take you through some light meditation with Mr Cody Crowdeden Crowfield over here on the banjo

So If everyone can just stare at him as hard as you can and watch his fingers move

Do you see the snake slithering in

Look at his dirty grin

He says I'll show you the world

Look at all them pretty girls

Take this bag of cash

You give me half and I'll keep the rest

Shake my hand you fool

Here, there are no rules

Just take my hand

No bullshit attached

Cause I've got a secret plan

I'm a snake man

You don't even know it

I'm eating you slowly

I want all your gold

I'm eating you whole

Slither into your soul

This deal we made

Will curve your spine

A cerebrus slimmy kind

I wanted your gold

Instead I'll take your mind

Just take my hand

No bullshit attached

Cause I've got a secret plan

I'm a snake man

We're getting tired

Of putting out this fire

You've started my friend

You've burned us good

We've understood

You got nothing in the end
