| A pain, a weight your mother knows
|
| The sun betrayed a tarnished glow
|
| A smoke come down, erase our eyes
|
| The sky’s too low to recognize
|
| All the while the rainbow serpent winds
|
| As her children faintly lost their minds
|
| Can’t be TV, the buried crime
|
| A perfect world, a plan sublime
|
| Watch your neighbor, buy your face
|
| Keeping time, but losing place
|
| All the while the rainbow serpent crawls
|
| While her children dream of wails and walls
|
| In the veins of belief, or the diamonds of our eye, she lingers there
|
| Big deal, debrief, a heart of chrome
|
| Running scared as the lizards roam
|
| The rabbit hole seems far away
|
| But the dream of age is here to stay
|
| All the while the rainbow serpent smiles
|
| Watching all her children’s final mile
|
| All the while the rainbow serpent smiles
|
| Watching all her children’s final mile |
