Snakes in the Grass - The Essex Green

Snakes in the Grass - The Essex Green
Two feet caught in the shadows caught in the shadow show
Please tell me what is going on
Oh I can't it's nothing I've known
Signing shapes in the moonlight keeping the laughter low
Please tell me what's going on
Oh I can't it's convoluted
A change of mind today for certain
I know the book I think I wrote it
The author's dead it's fiction
One oh one
Seething snakes in the grass snakes in our own backyard
Everyone's on the telephone
I'll be sure to overhear them
Enter loping in Latin the altar boys all know
Please tell me what's going on
Oh I can't it's convoluted
A change of mind today for certain
I know the book I think I wrote it
The author's dead it's fiction
So go ahead eight times a day
So go ahead and tell me what you want
Two keys twisted and turned stuck in our own front door
Please tell me what's going on
Oh I can't it's nothing I've known
Leaving notes in the carpet reading them on the floor
Please tell me what's going on
Oh I can't it's convoluted
A change of mind today for certain
I know the book I think I wrote it
The author's dead the author's dead it's fiction
I can't I can't it's convoluted
A change of mind today for certain
I know the book I think I wrote it
The author's dead it's fiction
I can't I can't it's convoluted
A change of mind today for certain
I know the book I think I wrote it
The author's dead it's fiction
One oh one
