Watersnake Lyrics

I was off with some dirty street kids

Feeling lost cuz I'm not really like them

We decided to go for a swim

And one of them pulled a snake out the lake with a big stick

Tossed him on the ground and cornered him

As he fought I saw the slither in the swim

It came to mind I'm a lot like him

So I walked up and tossed the snake in the lake again

I'm displaced and I have no friends

I'm a ghost of the musician

I'm just trying to shed my skin

But I'm cursed to the earth and I keep resurrecting

Yeah maybe I'm a damned little man

with the grace of a water snake on dry land

But if you corner me too bad

Something bigger than me has got my back

It was as if I baptized him

The Earth washed off as he splashed back in

And here I stand with dirt on my hands

While he slithered up the river

Like a part of the water again

I'm displaced and I have no friends

I'm a ghost of the musician

I'm just trying to shed my skin

But I'm cursed to the earth and I keep resurrecting

Yeah maybe I'm a damned little man

With the grace of a water snake on dry land

But if you corner me too bad

Something bigger than me has got my back

Yeah maybe I'm a damned little man

With the grace of a water snake on dry land

But if you corner me too bad

Something bigger than me has got my back
