The Brown Snake

Brown like my eyes Cold in the river tonight There's a hundred cities Not as pretty as you Yeah, you've always been there Yeah, you always come through But if I died and went to heaven Then heaven would be this place Maybe I'm smitten Bitten by the brown snake It winds around this country town Sometimes a flood brings us to tears It's in our blood Through all the years it got my heart The brown snake A work of art A work of art Brown like my skin Where my first memories begin It's never too late To see the needle from Expo 88 It's always raining Yeah, in the sunshine state But if I died and went to heaven Then heaven would be this place Maybe I'm smitten Bitten by the brown snake It winds around this country town Sometimes a flood brings us to tears It's in our blood Through all the years it got my heart The brown snake (the brown snake) A work of art A work of art It's in our blood (it's in our blood) Through all the years it got my heart The brown snake (the brown snake) A work of art A work of art
