Snakes

from CARVER by CARVER

lyrics

Last night I woke up with snakes inside my bed.
Thought I was dreaming 'til they turned to me and said,
"You're all alone, nobody's coming home"
but I turned away and they were gone.

I went into work with the streets all thick with snow.
I ate lunch in the break room with folks I didn't know
but nobody spoke to me, and squinting I could see
the outline of a snake in front of me.
And he said

"All your life you always tried to sing
But your songs don't mean a thing.
And all your dreams, as precious as they seem,
They've been stuck inside the seams
And you can't hear them scream, no!"

I clocked out at five with the snake nowhere in sight.
I waved down a driver and asked him for a ride.
For the moment I felt free, but he was playing a cd
And it sounded just like snakes, whispering.
And they sang

"All your life you always tried to sing
But your songs don't mean a thing.
And all your dreams, as precious as they seem,
They've been stuck inside the seams
And you can't hear them scream!"

Tonight, I went to bed with snakes inside my head.
