Snake Pit Lyrics

Let me tell you about eternity

Its 40 years in hell

Working in a snake pit

making worthless things to sale

Gave me time to drink

And poison my mind

Washed away all hope wasted all my time

It was a snake pit baby

Oozing from the seams

It was a snake pit

Hear the banshees scream

It was a snake pit

wasted dreams

If I could take it back

I would have drove the other way

Along the Mississippi

To a sunny Southern state

Swim with alligators

Noogle for some cats

But memories keep on calling

The snake pit wants me back

I cant blame it on nobody

What lies here is the source

Cant blame a preacher

That rode a pale horse

I was making propaganda

It all went in the trash

Making things you wouldn't believe

And I'll tell you that's a fact

I searched for an answer

There where so many to clues

I looked for awakening inside a gypsy's booth

I read it in the tea leaves

I sought in the cards

They said I was a fool

Give the devil my regard

And pile and on the adverbs

Pronunciate the facts

And figure if they are any good

Id be leaving in the scraps

I am layman for what you're hearing

A poor man turned so cold

Cause the snake pit keeps a calling

I got to join them in that hole
