Snake In The Grass

band : woodbox gang album : born with a tail snake in the grass D5 Verse 1 C D5 if i was a bird i’d build a big nest out of fiberglass and wigs and asbestos C D5 i’d weave cigarette butts in the strands of hair and plastic grocery bags with receipts still there C F C F ’cause i’m a snake in the grass i’m a hook in the sea D G A D5 i’m a bee in your flowers and i Am a worm in the trees Verse 2 if i was a snake i’d find a bird nest i’d eat bird eggs ’til i got sick then i’d eat up all the rest i’d make myself throw up so i wouldn’t gain weight nobody would see me and say there goes that big fat snake ’cause i’m a slap in your face i’m a kiss upon your nose i’m a stab in your back and i Am a ring upon your toes Verse 3 if i was a little boy i’d climb across the walls i play with my machine guns and i blow up all my dolls i’d see grandma in heaven grandpa in hell i’d go back to sunday school if they’d let me ring the bell ’cause i’m a spade in your grave i’m a slave in you dreams i’m a cramp in your gut and i Am a drip in your jeans Verse 4 if i was a man i’d build an ugly home i’d raise a hundred cats and then i’d leave them all alone i’d never cut my hair i’d grow a big beard to cover up my scars and soak up all my tears ’cause i’m a quirk in your brain i’m a clot in your heart i’m a cry in the night and i Am a shot in the dark
