he knows your name, boy   i'll write it down   under bridges into town   and watch it rusting, your father's crown   and your mother sleeps in the ground      i go out walking, my own feet   and i might sing, 'oh bury me'   and from the bedroom there exudes the awful sound   and your mother sleeps in the ground      oh, the snakes on the ladder   my eyes were something that i saw   (x2)      there's a motion in the sky   and the singer you called outside   to the woods reflecting back a million sounds   of our lives, inside the four leaves tumbling down      oh, snakes on the ladder   oh, my eyes were something that i saw   (x2)
