Snake In The Grass
VERSE 1
If I was a bird I d build a big nest out of fiberglass and wigs and asbestos
I d weave cigarette butts in the strands of hair and plastic grocery bags with receipts
still there
Cause I m a snake in the grass I m a hook in the sea
I m a bee in your flowers and I am a worm in the trees
VERSE 2
If I was a snake I d find a bird nest I d eat bird eggs til I got sick then I d eat up
all the rest
I d make myself throw up so I wouldn t gain weight nobody would see me and say âthere
goes that big fat snakeâ
Cause I m a slap in your face I m a kiss upon your nose
I m a stab in your back and I am a ring upon your toes
VERSE 3
If I was a little boy I d climb across the walls I play with my machine guns and I blow
up all my dolls
I d see grandma in heaven grandpa in hell I d go back to Sunday school if they d let me
ring the bell
Cause I m a spade in your grave I m a slave in you dreams
I m a cramp in your gut and I am a drip in your jeans
VERSE 4
If I was a man I d build an ugly home I d raise a hundred cats and then I d leave them
all alone
I d never cut my hair I d grow a big beard to cover up my scars and soak up all my tears
Cause I m a quirk in your brain I m a clot in your heart
I m a cry in the night and I am a shot in the dark
