Richard Lloyd - Raising The Serpent Lyrics
(Lloyd)She's been living in the mirror, i'd like to follow her downLike a suitcase of emeralds, that she can wear in her crownAnd she says that she needs it, so i've been giving her someAnd now she says that she knows me, but can't remember where fromShe's been raising the serpent, and has a bird that can flyAnd now she's holding my monkey but still she don't tell me whyShe's been digging for the answers, in a beat-up garageShe's been building her castles, out of old lincoln logsAnd she wants me to live there, we'll have a torried affairJust like the fox in its foxhole, just like the rabbit in its lairShe's been raising the serpent, and has a bird that can flyAnd now she's holding my monkey but still she don't tell me whyShe's so soft, that i know she will cryWhen the daylight comes and steals away her nightWell i just saw her yesterday, and she is still going downJust like the cheshire cat baby, well all that's left is her frownBut i'm still standing beside her, i'm a dangerous manAnd we're looking for laughter, we're doing the best that we canShe's raising the serpent, etc....
