Lard - Sidewinder lyrics

rate me

Snake on a dune

Sand so moist and cool

Crawls up to a ledge

To survey the valley below

Slither into town

In the velvet Elvis night

Spiralling remains

Of a garden of delights

The builders are all gone

Their monuments remain

Outlasted by what they once controlled

How on earth is this explained

Sidewind

Refine

Survive

What's left behind

Can't burrow a home down here

Old asphalt lies below

Goodbyes from the dead play on

Half-curied video gravestones

Cracked patches of neon

Flickers as the wind blows

What kind of drugs were these creatures on

To want so much it ate them whole

Aversion to detergent

Always naturally clean

Sleep all day, crush mice by night

More civilized if you ask me

Sidewind

Refine

Survive

What's left behind

Wake up in the bushes

Brush the crust out of my eyes

Fluff the dirt out of my hair

As the bright sun's beatin' down

Time to hit the road

Time to find the rain

Away from the cage where the light bulbs

blaze

Hitch a ride to another plain

Sidewind

Refine

Survive

What's left behind
