Herald's Goose - Fall of Footsteps

Lace up my shoes going out in the rain
Slip on my socks the ones with the stain
A walk on the trail because I won't abstain
Going for a ride on the great gravel train

Don't wanna sit and watch an old ball game
Don't wanna hang my head in sad sad shame
Don't wanna live known by a nickname
Wanna ride the waves of a midwestern flame

The sun is beating down on my neck
Just like the birds givin trees a peck
This path's a party like a discotheque
Going out on my flight deck

I'm gonna spread my wings and learn to fly
I'm gonna move my feet and walk on by
I'm gonna be free it's early July
There's something up on the left in my eye

The snake he's nipping at my heels
He's wondering how a fella feels
He don't care about my day
He's only got one thing to say

Hissssssssssssssss

He's got sharp fangs and a scaly bod
Standing up straight as a rod
He don't care about my day
He's only got one thing to say

Hissssssssssssssss

He's only got one thing to say

Fear in my heart and my mind will not rest
Just keep on running now put you're legs to the test
Don't back he's right there chasing mile after mile
You can't let yourself fall for the serpent king's smile

I don't know what compels me to remain on this path
As he slithers harmlessly I don't fear his wrath
I don't know what compels me to to keep walking along
But I do know the snake man will do me know wrong
I can see him below me and I know what he feels'
It's not his fault I found him underneath my own heels
I don't know what compelled me to stroll through his home
But the snake man just needs us to leave him alone

The world
Doesn't understand
Why can't I be
A snake in the sand

The world
Won't understand
I'll never be
A snake in the sand

The world
Doesn't understand
Why can't I be
A snake in the sand

The world
Won't understand
I'll never be
A snake in the sand

Oh it's a long way back from whence you came
Once you're back and remember your name
You'll see that there's no one to blame
We are all just snakes just the same

Oh it's a long way back whence you left
Stealing ones life is a mighty theft
This snake to kill doesn't have the heft
He's off to live in his forgotten cleft

Oh it's a long way back whence you return
From the good and bad you can't discern
For some more of life you cannot yearn
Because you have no more rope to burn

Oh it's a long way from whence you came
Oh it's a long way from whence you came
Oh it's a long way from whence you came
Oh it's a long way from whence you came
