White Belly - Beams

Snake on the sand, underneath the sky

Red back down and white belly high

Waiting for the eagle to take him to paradise

Snake on the sand, underneath the sky

Red back down and white belly high

Waiting for the eagle to take him to paradise

Shadow flickered over the sand

Eagle called down, circling in:

«why don’t you hide?

Where is the chase?»

«I don’t wanna get caught up in someone else’s race

I know my role, I know my place.

I know what this is, why resist it?

I know how this ends, I’ll just close my eyes.»

«Why don’t you wait another day?

No white belly up to the sky

I’ll let you lie

«Why don’t you wait another day?

No white belly up to the sky

I’ll let you lie,»

And down by the river, a snake swam sneakily by the eagle’s eye

And up by the tree, I think about the course

And I am willing to try

Then the eagle, passing, called out to his brother:

«It was a hot and wretched day, yeah

And I didn’t see nothin'

No, I didn’t see nothin'.»
