snakeskin Lyrics

Aunt Joan, who lives in a castle

Cut up her wedding dress

Sewed a bonnet for her niece

And saved the rest

Clementines out in the yard

Times will surely get hard again

But for now it's good

I don't know if it'll stay that way, but it should

I don't know if it'll stay that way, but it should

Life is like a snakeskin

You shed the past and begin again

Say goodbye to an old friend

And welcome a new one in

It's in the genealogy, and new age mythology

To think that you're exempt from it is reverse psychology

Family traditions

A book about keeping chickens

Memories to savor

But you can't save it all for later

But you can't save it all for later

Life is like a snakeskin

You shed the past and begin again

Say goodbye to an old friend

And welcome a new one in

Life is like a snakeskin

You shed the past and begin again

Say goodbye to an old friend

And welcome a new one in

Say goodbye to an old friend

And welcome a new one in
