I cain’t see no, Doctor. He’s too green for me


I cain’t see no doctor
He’s too green for me.
So gather round now, children, and let me 
tell you what you mean to me
Before I go. I want you to know there’s 
more to life, than filling your bowl.
So take me out now, to the backyard 
and we can lay to rest my weary soul 
with a shotgun salute 
to a hard fought life on the rungs of the ladder.
And I’m shaking in my boots 
because the baby’s sick 
and we don’t know what’s the matter.

Still a snake, time slithers by,
and you say the same thing.
And I reach for you
but you do the same thing.

You bite.

Still a snake, patterns on your back,
and you do the same thing.
And I don’t see it coming,
but I feel the sting,

of your bite.
                     
Still a snake, tongue telling lies,
and you hiss at me.
And you say the same thing,
but how can I believe?

When you say I love you.
No no no

Still a snake, no matter how I try,
I never really change.
And I shed my skin,
but I’m still the same.

So I bite                                     


Still a Snake

I remember the drive,  
we were flying down that coast line,  
moon up above. 
There were fires blazing, 
we were racing, 
it was beautiful. 

As I recall they said, 
hundreds died that night, 
but you and I that night, 
we were making love  
like the sun would never come up, 
it was beautiful.  

And the seas wash away 
the ends of the earth, 
President say, 
"It's raining God's fire." 
And the seas wash away,  
the ends of the earth, 
news man say, yes he did, 
"It's raining God's fire."  

and it rains,  oh but let it rain.  

I remember the break, 
we were sittin on both sides 
of that widening valley. 
As the earth gave way 
i thought i heard you say it was, 
beautiful. 
So now i'm falling for you, 
just trying to keep up with you 
into the darkness below. 
Lights are fading, 
but i see your face 
and it's, beautiful.  

(chorus) 

And it rains.

If we don't survive, 
I will cherish my short time. 
Cause just to know your smile, 
it was beautiful. 
If the Earth has to go, 
I wan't you to know, 
that in my life, 
you were the most 
beautiful. 

I said in my life, 
oh you were the most, 
Beautiful.
