And the Snakes Start to Sing

I've lost the plot again

Tell your friends to sharpen their teeth

There's a few quid to be made

And my soul's a sorry state

So come on down, you empty lovers

Worms come out of the woodwork

And the snakes start to sing

Do you feel the chill

Clawing at the back of your neck?

I start to spill

Did you really think that you could fix me?

They'll sell your bones for another roll

Well, sharpen your teeth

Tell yourself that it's just business

Worms come out of the woodwork

Leeches come from out of the dirt

Rats come out of the holes they call home

And I fall apart

And the snakes start to sing

Don't say I'm better off dead

'Cause heaven's full and hell won't have me

Won't you make some room in your bed

Well, you could lock me up in your heart

And throw away the key

Won't you take me out of my head?

I'm just a would've been, could've been

Should've been, never was and never ever will be

We'll sharpen your teeth

Tell yourself that it's just business

Would've been, could've been

Should've been, never was, and never ever will be

Worms come out of the woodwork

And the snakes start to sing

Worms come out of the woodwork

Leeches come from out of the dirt

Rats come out of the holes they call home

And I fall apart

And the snakes start to sing

If you can't soar with the eagles

Then don't fly with the flock

Are you still getting high?

Did you catch your own reflection

In the knife my mother held?

Or the hell in my father's eyes?

If you can't soar with the eagles

Then don't fly with the flock

Are you still getting by?

Was I your knight in shining armor?

The apple of your eye?

Or just a step to climb?

If you can't soar with the eagles
