Lyrics Flotsam and Jetsam

Flotsam and Jetsam

Snake Eye

Faster than a bullet from a gun

Looking out and thinking only of number one

Respect written on the tip of death

Take you out, bring you down with every breath

Designed to stop you when you fight

Push a button, pack it up, it ends tonight

Nowhere to run, nothing you can do

A 1000 pounds of flotsam just for you

Hide deep beneath the ground

A hundred thousand pounds of instant death

Curl up and cover head

You're all but dead, the walls are closing fast

Hide from the sound

of thunder churning underground and coming fast

Once you have seen

its eye, it's time to die, there is no more escape

It can reach and pull you from the sky

Steadfast like a lizard to the fly

Has no connection to a rule

If you come up against it, you're a fool

No barriers, no respect, or fear

When it's there, you'll wish you were here

Nothing avenged, everything is gray

Death, annihilation, just another day

Hide deep beneath the ground

A hundred thousand pounds of instant death

Curl up and cover head

You're all but dead, the walls are closing fast

Hide from the sound

of thunder churning underground and coming fast

Once you have seen

its eye, it's time to die, there is no more escape

Once dead it has no use for you

It only likes to kill, no prejudice or view

Path of destruction in its way

Life, limb, or heart, whatever it can take

Run and hide, the desert's shaking

It doesn't think about what it's taking

Hide, die, play dead, whatever you can do

Odds are your life is over, too
