A Swing Jazz Tune
Story behind the song
About lovin' the wong snake
Lyrics
Here you come slidin' through the grass,
wearin' your new skin,
lyin' in wait for my memories to fade,
so you can begin again..
(Chorus 1)
I knew you were comin',
I saw the signs,
My heart was pumpin',
When I looked in your eyes.
But they look right past me,
(they) stay on the prize,
Just as they've always done,
the last,
999,000 times...
So don't whisper your silky words,
don't breathe your lies.
I found your old skin on the ground,
it was shriveled and covered in flies..
(Chorus 2)
But I heard you comin',
Cause you speak in rhymes,
And my mind was buzzin',
At the thought of your crimes.
But my heart's grown weary,
of the how's and why's,
Just as it's always done,
the last,
999,000 times...
You know my heart wants you to stay,
and take off your disguise,
but the fangs are a dead give-away,
and there's no room for compromise.
(Chorus 3)
I knew you were comin',
read between the lines,
I heard your drummin',
Trying to hypnotize.
But you look right through me,
See what my mind denies,
Just as you've always done,
the last,
999,000 times...
