Plain Eclipse Of The Snake

from Strange Songs for Strange Times by THUNDERCLAP

/

about

An psychedelic song about the pain of dealing with rascals and rapscallions, while having one trustworthy person to anchor yourself to.

lyrics

Yes sometimes I am the first in line
Rather than that great leader I am in my mind
Sometimes our rules just don't apply
One more time to the back of the line
My chance is gone - Bye bye!

But not you. You wouldn't do it
You are not a snake
You are a little, a little like a silver plane
And those around you reflect your sheen
A blinding reflection of the substance you bring

Our peripheral senses sift out the side door
The forgettable things that were meant to ignore
And here i am wasting away
Fretting ‘bout nothing all hours of the day
It’s a breakdown!

But not you. You wouldn't do it
You are not a snake
You are a little, a little like a silver plane
And those around you reflect your sheen
A blinding reflection of the substance you bring

I took 1 or 2 just for the team
Then blows 3 and 4 were just to grease up the grease
I thought I had been left behind
One more time like a sucker that takes it in stride
Oh my!

But not you. You wouldn't do it
You are not a snake
You are a little, well, little like a silver plane
And those around you reflect your sheen
A blinding reflection of the substance you bring
