I said, “plug your ears
And drink your beer
And when you’re finished,
I’ll be finished too.”
I said, “just zone out
And think of somewhere safe.”
But there were people watching us
And there was poison in their eyes,
They had the time to find you
And they said, “Come on baby, take me home.”
Let me bring you down instead,
When I’m done we’ll all hold hands
So none of us get lost
And we know who we have lost.
There is safety where the
Snakes lay curled and coiled
Around our feet -
They scare away the bees
And hordes of people
With poison in their eyes.
Let me bring you down instead,
When I’m done we’ll all hold hands,
We’ll open our ears and drink more beer
And when you’re finished,
I’ll be finished too.
And when I’m done we’ll all hold hands
So we know who we have lost.
