Snakes on the Ladder - Handsome Furs

He knows your name, boy

You’ll write it down

Under bridges into town

And whats that rusting?, you’re fathers crown!

And our mother sleeps in the ground

I go out walking, my own feet

And I might sing, «Oh bury me»

And from the bedroom exudes the awful sound

And our mother sleeps in the ground

Oh, snakes on the ladder

Oh, my eyes were something i saw

There’s a motion in the sky

And the singer who called outside

To the woods reflecting back a million sounds

Of our lives, inside the forest off Greyhound?

Oh, Snakes on the ladder

Oh, my eyes were something i saw
