A split -tongued spirit talks,

striking up an old jukebox and he

C
F
Our serpents love the whiskey bars,
they love the romance of the crime
But didn't I see a neon sign fester
and swoop down on the crowd at the bar
And put me at the top of your danger list
C

just for being so much like you are

coward against the flesh,

as we center behind the eight ball
as we rock between the sheets
as we siphon the colored language

off the farms and the streets here

in good old God save America
the home of the brave and the free
we are all hopelessly oppressed

Gsus4
F
Restless sweeps like fire and rain
G
C
Through boat -locked tenements.
the eagle and the serpent are at war in me
The eagle fighting for high ideals,
these hectic joys, these weary blues
Puffed up and strutting
when I think I win,
C
F
down and shaken when I think I lose
Asus4
There are rivets up here in this seagull
Asus4
A
there on your snake
Or what we forsake
the beads of guile
Gsus4
G
There is danger and education
It was plain to train my twin
It was just plain shadow to train shadow
Mother Earth to Father Sky
Self -indulgence to self -denial

Crawl an d fly, you and I
Oh, you and I, you and I, you and I,
you and I, you and I
