Blacksnake - Charming Disaster

My blacksnake and my donkey keep the predators at bay

The coyotes and the copperheads stay well enough away

The power that protects me is a circle made of salt

But when you come to get me I won’t feel a thing at all

The vultures that surround me ride the thermals up on high

Yeah, ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die

The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep

You saved me from the sparrows now my soul is yours to keep

Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky

The mirror cracked and broken making exes of my eyes

Can’t turn away the darkness so instead I hold you tight

Yeah, ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die

Light the fire

Sing the song

Hit the high hat

Kick the drum

Secret language

On the tongue

Something wicked

This way comes

There’s a light without any heat

It shines just for me, my love

Shines just for me

There’s a night without a moon

It comes just for you, my love

Comes just for you

(There's a light)

My blacksnake and my donkey keep the predators at bay

(Without any heat)

The coyotes and the copperheads stay well enough away

(It shines just for me, my love)

The power that protects me is a circle made of salt

(Shines just for me)

But when you come to get me I won’t feel a thing at all

(There's a night)

The scarab on my pillow whispers vespers as I sleep

(Without a moon)

You saved me from the sparrows now my soul is yours to keep

(It comes just for you, my love)

Come morning we awaken to a garnet colored sky

(Comes just for you)

The mirror cracked and broken making exes of my eyes

Light the fire

Sing the song

Hit the high hat

Kick the drum

Secret language

On the tongue

Something wicked

This way comes

Heat haze on the highway there’s a shimmer in the air

Out on the horizon there’s a figure standing there

Strange hallucinations as the sky is growing thin

From the corners of my vision see the shadows closing in

Is it just sleep deprivation or the ergot on the rye

Yeah ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die

Ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die

Ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die

Ever since you found me I’m afraid that I might die
