Serpentine Prison

I see the starlight through the clouds

Why won't anybody listen to me?

Don't make me say it again out loud

Big Star are doing Don't Worry Baby

Bipolar pride, swim in the tide

Keep your deadhead above and your chin up

You're gonna have a pretty hard time

Without drugs, without love

Total submission, I've seen a vision

Everyone's screaming, I've been daydreaming

Sorry I'm fishing without permission

Tell her I'm missing in a serpentine prison

Don't try to connect the dots anymore

Let 'em go, they're gonna do it on their own

Tell me that I'm not in this alone

And I, I'm so sorry, I don't know why I'm slow

I feel like an impersonation of you

Or am I doing another version of you doing me?

Nobody's ever really thinking about us

Half as much as we want 'em to be

Total frustration, deterioration

Nationalism, another moon mission

Total submission, I've seen a vision

Call electrician, serpentine prison

Whatever it is I try not to listen

Cold cynicism and blind nihilism

I need a vacation from intoxication

Tell her I'm missing in a serpentine prison

I've been picking my kid up from school

Smelling like girl scout cookies and drool

I still crawl up to you every night

Do not forgive me, I'm a reptile

You say I'm a lot, I'm hard to take

I think you're just drinking the water

I walk into walls and I lay awake

I don't want to give it to my daughter

Total submission, I've seen a vision

Everyone's screaming, I've been daydreaming

Sorry I'm fishing without permission

Tell her I'm missing in a serpentine prison

Total frustration, deterioration

Nationalism, another moon mission

Total submission, I've seen a vision

Call electrician, serpentine prison

Whatever it is I try not to listen

Cold cynicism and blind nihilism

I need a vacation from intoxication

Tell her I'm missing in a serpentine prison

Total submission, I've seen a vision

Everyone's screaming, I've been daydreaming

Sorry I'm fishing without permission

Tell her I'm missing in a serpentine prison
