And your teeth and your tongue bright red from tiger's blood

We were young for so long, seersuckers of time

Drank someone else's juice, left only the rind

Drank someone else's juice and left only the rind

And I held it like a penny I found

It might bring me something, it might weigh me down

Spellbinding copperheads banging a tambourine
             A               E                      Bm
And it's the kiss of death, but it's the only way out
         A          E                                Bm
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth

The smell of dust that creeps up through the cracks in the floor
