Mark Eitzel - Atico 18 lyrics

Let the snake crawl around on your floor You're not afraid of its tongue Or its tiny heart It lays curled up on the corner Watching Craig and Jose Hisses quietly to itself Doesn't have a thing good to say Like the fire's final spark Like predictable behavior The last drop in the battery Food that lost its flavor Blood inside like ground below Just growing colder No freedom in cowardice Poison fangs give no power The only love you'll ever grow Is to look beyond the things you know The things you know To crawl out of its hole A hired car and a 747 Wants to swallow the world whole Including hell including heaven Tiny eyes that strain to see The point behind all this gift giving Well, snakes may come and snakes may go Jose and Craig--well, they're still living The only love you'll ever grow Is to look beyond the things you know The only love you'll ever grow Is to look beyond the things you know The things you know The things you know
