Walk Among The Cobras, Pt. 1 - Dan Sartain

Well I found out, what it’s like

To walk among the cobras and, really be alone

And to pick at all the bones

Well I found out, what it meant

To really say I’m starving, and the truth was so alarming

And in fact I find it haunting

Oh well I found out, what they meant

To walk among the cobras and to really be alone

Well I found out, what it’s worth

For a girl to say «I love you» and «God bless the stars above you»

Well I found out, what it meant

To really earn a dollar, and to scream instead of holler

And to lead instead of follow

And I found out, they were right

The man who’ll rob your eyes to see

And it’s all in front of me

And the truth won’t set you free

Well I found out, what it meant

To walk among the cobras and, to really be alone

Well I found out, what it’s worth

For a girl to say «I love you» and «God bless the stars above you»

And that letter, that I sent

You know every word I meant, and I’m singing my lament

And I haven’t got there yet

And that letter, you sent back

Took it with me down the tracks, but the man he brought me back

Caught me peeping through the cracks
