The Centipedes

It's so early and I've been awake for too long
Underneath me, I lie with the snakes all alone
Far beneath me, I hear the centipede's song
Oh it haunts me, oh, how they taunt with their songs

Lie with me 'til early in spring
The snakes keep moving, keeping me in
The centipedes are wearing me thin
Their company's just so hard to keep

It's so late now, I can't get my eyes to stay open
It's so late now, I can't remember what's spoken
In the rain now, the centipede hides, my eyes closing
They're still taunting, and oh, I'm so tired, but still hoping

Stay with me 'til the rain subsides
The centipedes will keep us alive
The snakes will slither into the tide
But I'm so tired, I'm closing my eyes

I'm surrounded, my legs are tangled and I'm floating
Down with the centipedes, I'll slither
Down with the snakes and dream of rivers
Over the clouds

Stay with me 'til early in spring
The snakes will slither letting us in
The centipedes would teach us to sing
Close your eyes, we'll float as we dream
