Sidewinder

Snake on a dune Sand so moist and cool Crawls up to a ledge To survey the valley below Slither into town In the velvet Elvis night Spiralling remains Of a garden of delights The builders are all gone Their monuments remain Outlasted by what they once controlled How on earth is this explained Sidewind Refine Survive What's left behind Can't burrow a home down here Old asphalt lies below Goodbyes from the dead play on Half-curied video gravestones Cracked patches of neon Flickers as the wind blows What kind of drugs were these creatures on To want so much it ate them whole Aversion to detergent Always naturally clean Sleep all day, crush mice by night More civilized if you ask me Sidewind Refine Survive What's left behind Wake up in the bushes Brush the crust out of my eyes Fluff the dirt out of my hair As the bright sun's beatin' down Time to hit the road Time to find the rain Away from the cage where the light bulbs Blaze Hitch a ride to another plain Sidewind Refine Survive What's left behind
