Rachel Brooke - Serpentine Blues lyrics

I had a dream last night, a black rat in my bed I had a dream last night, a black rat in my bed Now you're gonna tell me what that means now, baby Or I'm gonna tell you instead Well I'll sleep here tonight, but tomorrow I'll be gone I'll sleep here tonight, but tomorrow I'll be gone You see, this bed that I've been lying in It just don't fit me no more I saw a rattlesnake this morning, walking just like me I saw a rattlesnake this morning, talking just like me And it said “I ain't scared of nothing-I'm only scared of me” From under rocks and things, they all go east From under rocks and stones and dirt and bones, they all go east And they've been calling my name They say that's where I aught to be So I'm gonna light a fire, and burn this place down I'm gonna light a big red fire, and burn it down to the ground Just because I've been living here Don't mean that's where I'm bound
