about

blues....

lyrics

Clouds gonna cover they sky
When the king snake opens his eyes.
You gonna wish it was all lie.
But there ain't
No escape
Don't you even try.

The earth gonna tremble and moan
When the king snake leaves his home.
Moving swift up your dry backbone.
Do you hear
The grinding gears
And the tumbling stones?

The oceans gonna twist and roll
When the king snake leaves his hole.
Gonna shake your very soul.
You will be believe
When you see
How I told you so.

It is written in an ancient tongue
How he would come
And swing his jaws open
To swallow the moon and the sun.
There ain't no use in crying now, people,
What's done is done....

Black smoke gonna fill up the air
When the king snake leaves his lair.
It'll blind your eyes
And grey up your hair
When you see him crawling everywhere....
