Matt Deal - Snakes

Get out of bed and grab a drink
And sit down on the couch and think
Turn on the tube, nothing else to do
Except the dishes in the sink
But it's too late for that very noisy task
Because the baby is asleep
So, I'll bide my time, drowning in my mind
Because the water is too deep

The snakes that are crawling inside my head
Are keeping me up and out of bed
And I'm just one man wondering
What I should do
The reptilian nature of my dark thoughts
Like drunken, belligerent forget-me-nots
I hope that you don't think I'm blaming you

But on TV, nothing for me
So, I look through the firewall
And They Might Be Giants you see
'Cause right now I feel oh so small
Because I can't smoke, my mind is choked
Dependence is a hateful thing
I really hate that it's so late
I wanna play guitar and sing

What do I honestly expect
To find inside the internet
To help me close my eyes and get some rest
I watch a film about purple toupees
And finally I'm feeling sleepy
Perhaps, I can forget all my regrets
But I wouldn't bet ' cause

The snakes that are crawling inside my head
Are keeping me up and out of bed
And I'm just one man wondering
What I should do
The reptilian nature of my dark thoughts
Like drunken, belligerent forget-me-nots
I hope that you don't think I'm blaming you

The snakes that are crawling inside my head
Well, they'll be there 'til I'm
The snakes that are crawling inside my head
Well, they'll be there 'til I'm dead
'Til I'm dead
'Til I'm dead
'Til I'm dead

The snakes that are crawling inside my head
Are keeping me up and out of bed
And I'm just one man wondering
What I should do
