lyrics

the curtain falls away
you press
your eye to the keyhole
the kid says
as she flirts with that needle
“slither on”
the garden’s full of snakes
you gleefully wade
through the trenches
while they choke on their
honorable mentions,
slither on

the bargains that you made
now tip your hat to the whirlwind
with a spit shine halo
and stale grin,
slither on
the pennies that you save
you’ll pour right into the machine
you’ve got a sweet tooth
it aches for a crime scene
slither on
slither on awhile darlings

now do you feel betrayed?
you cling
to the butcher’s foul apron
he says, “my pet
you’ve misplaced your affections
slither on”
you peer into the grave
it seems
at once so familiar — yet strange
and they’ve scrawled
on your pillar “slither on”

last night i saw the devil
he was wearing my coat
and i said “hey, don’t i know you?”
