A Snake In The Shower

It seems like you've already decided

I don't think that there's much to discuss

Well, we've been in between places

We've mostly been staying at some house in the mountains her friend isn't using

She said he used to be a pretty huge producer

He doesn't seem that huge anymore

We found a torch in the drawer

We found the foil on the floor

There was blood on the buttons when I picked up the phone

Oh, what happens is you claw out your sensors?

Then you don't know what you should feel

And your body's just another container

And your blood is just part of the deal

There's scratching at the walls in the wheelhouse

And it sounded like it's trapped under ice

Remember when we thought this was better?

There was a snake in the shower last night

We dug in pretty deep and we were almost asleep when someone put a brick through the window

Say what you will, man, I don't think that there's much to discuss

Battle burns, cinnamon

Colfax and Sheridan

Covered up in ticker tape

Newfangled American man

The doctors hooked you up to computers to figure out where we went wrong

The technician put on Cat and the Cobra

The nurses laid down on the lawn

What happens is you pull out your sensors

Then you can't tell the key from the kite

You fool around with thunder and lightning

There was a snake in the shower last night

Before we left the city we went out to some party

Before we hit the party we stopped off for supplies

There was a kid on the corner with a coat of many colors

He said, "You want to be tamed? You want to get wild?"

Pulled a stem from his sleeve, said, "Try one of these

You'll dream like a king, little child"

Then he smiled

Someone made a joke that seemed hopeful

About things that go bump in the night

At first it kind of picked up the party

And then it kind of ruins your life

What happens when you snuff out the candle?

It's mostly just an absence of light

Death is a complete loss of power
