Waiting For The Snake
Motorhead爀 Lyrics

I don't know what I like, I don't know what I am,
I'm uncertain of my preferences and identity

I don't know where I'm going and I don't give a damn.
I have no direction and don't care about it

I say the world is crazy, know there's no one to save me,
I believe the world is insane and there's no savior

I know a few things baby; I know we're in a jam.
I'm aware that we're in trouble

Black hole in the sun, I don't like the way we always run,
Our constant fleeing from issues is unsettling

And if your eyes are closed I better stay awake.
I need to remain alert if you're not paying attention

You sleep like an angel baby, but I know you're truly crazy,
You may appear peaceful, but I know you're insane

And I think that we've grown lazy, waiting for the snake.
We're complacent, expecting something bad to happen

You are a mystery, you are a bitch to me,
You're enigmatic and difficult to comprehend

You don't see why I stay why I don't turn and run.
You don't understand why I'm still here with you

You think your life is good, but you're a babe out in the wood,
You believe your life is fine, but you're naive

Do what you think you should, sleeping with the gun.
Do what you feel is right, even if it's paranoid

Black cloud on the moon, feels like the rain is coming soon,
A sense of impending doom is looming

The way I feel tonight, you'll never see me break.
I'll never let you see me fall apart

You live in constant sorrow, and I refuse to follow,
You're perpetually miserable, but I won't be dragged down

We might not see tomorrow, waiting for the snake.
We might not survive much longer if we keep waiting

I think you know the score, I don't know what we're waiting for,
You understand the situation, but I don't know what we're waiting for

Hiding behind the door, don't get us any place.
Avoiding confrontation won't solve anything

I know that you believe, and so before the freeze,
I know you have faith, so let's act before it's too late

Before we feel the squeeze, before the monster wakes.
Before the pressure becomes unbearable, and before disaster strikes

Black death in the room, you sing a different tune,
There's a sense of impending doom, and you're behaving differently

And it will bring your doom, the city starts to shake.
The consequences will be dire, chaos will ensue

I see the world is dying, you know I sure ain't lying,
I see that the world is in decline, and I'm not lying about it

I see you pale and crying, waiting for the snake.
I see that you're scared, waiting for a calamity to happen
