lyrics

In my dream I was a shivering blue snake
I only lived where rock lines quake
And now am resting forever near an ancient lake

In the distance the owl spoke to me
but he didn't dare leave his mangled tree
I ran to the rabbi and asked “Will you pray for me?”

Then you rose up with your scorpion's knife
and saved me when you shone your light
I’m born again `cause you saved my life

In my dream I wanted more
I tasted the white dust on the desert floor
I gorged myself but then I lost everything

Our story would end at dawn
We'd circle the blue sky in an arc and were gone
We’d head into the wind and turn away from the sun

I crawled to you on my knees
and fell to pieces
I gave up and finally found peace

We want to be strong like bears
But in the end our teeth only tear

We want to stand up tall
But crawl away when the shadows fall

You used to fly
So high in the sky
One million miles high

But you wanted more
So I knocked down your door
Shattered like a glass on your floor

In my dream I was a shivering blue snake
I only lived where rock lines quake
And now am resting forever near an ancient lake
