Snakes On The Ladder Lyrics

he knows your name, boy
i'll write it down
under bridges into town
and watch it rusting, your father's crown
and your mother sleeps in the ground

i go out walking, my own feet
and i might sing, 'oh bury me'
and from the bedroom there exudes the awful sound
and your mother sleeps in the ground

oh, the snakes on the ladder my eyes were something that i saw
(x2)

there's a motion in the sky
and the singer you called outside
to the woods reflecting back a million sounds
of our lives, inside the four leaves tumbling down

oh, snakes on the ladder
oh, my eyes were something that i saw
(x2)
