lyrics

[WALK AMONG THE COBRAS]
Well I found out, what it's like to walk among the cobras
and, really be alone, and to pick at all the bones
Well I found out, what it meant to really say I'm starving,
and the truth was so alarming and in fact I find it haunting
Oh well I found out, what they meant to walk among the cobras
And to really be alone
Well I found out, what it's worth For a girl to say "I love you"
and "God bless the stars above you"
Well I found out, what it meant to really earn a dollar,
and to scream instead of holler and to lead instead of follow
And I found out, they were right. The man who'll rob your eyes to see
And it's all in front of me, and the truth won't set you free
Well I found out, what it meant to walk among the cobras
and to really be alone
Well I found out, what it's worth for a girl to say "I love you"
and "God bless the stars above you"
And that letter, that I sent, you know every word I meant,
and I'm singing my lament and I haven't got there yet
And that letter, you sent back took it with me down the tracks,
but the man he brought me back caught me peeping through the cracks
GO
