Cavity Carousel
These Arms Are Snakes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I’ve been jumping bodies trying and crying just to get back to you.
The last one, I had shot his face off too soon.
I found me a love doctor who swapped me out of that one to the new.
Baby, when it's over you won't be hard to find.
I'll find another cavity and carousel my way to you.
You'll have to recognize me by my new set of eyes.
Baby, when it's over you won't be hard to find.
I'll find another cavity and carousel my way to you.
I'll keep changing form and coming back to your side.
I possessed this body to possess a way to come back to you.
The last one tried to stop me but this heart's just too true.
Many years later I predict the past may replay itself.
Just like Sunny's body this could become number two.
I'm a lot of heart but have a habit to stop and start.
Lives you soon knew, you true itself, to begin to start.
Baby, when it's over you won't be hard to find.
I'll find another cavity and carousel my way to you.
I'll keep changing form and coming back to your side.
(Repeats over time.)
Baby, when it's over you won't be hard to find.
I'll find another cavity and carousel my way to you.
You'll have to recognize me by my new set of eyes.
(Repeats over time.)
He's got the power, the power, the power
He's got the power, the power, the power
He's got the power, the power, the power
He's got the power, the power, the power
He's got the power, the power, the power
…
Of love over me.
