Hot Chicken

(album: Lonely Diamond - 2020)

Call in a favour, I need to contain it
And I'll be the razor if you wanna play
And I know it's dangerous, well honey what can I say?
'Cause I'm just a prisoner to the golden snake

Feel the frustration, push its way 'round my veins
Tense and outrageous, like a hit of cocaine
Try to embrace it, it's the only way
'Cause I'm just a prisoner to the golden snake

So I hold these chains walking
I could just stay
Wasting away
I've been looking for a reason to draw the line
I could just stay
Wasting away

Well this is my purpose, I wasn't born in the flames
I'm feeling impatient, I'm pretty sick of the games
And I am a puppet without any strings
I'm lost in the vortex with the golden snake

I've been devoured, and soon I'll be waste
Soak up the poison, I had to give it a taste
If you'll lay the flowers along to my grave
'Cause I'm just a prisoner to the golden snake

So I hold these chains
And walk into the serpent's cave
So I hold these chains
And walk
I could just stay
Wasting away
I've been looking for a reason to draw the line
I've been in pain, permanently
Don't trust the snake
(Don't, don't, don't)
I could just stay
Wasting away
I've been looking for a reason to draw the line
I could just stay
Wasting away

Try to keep my head in between the lines
Couldn't look away from the serpent's eyes
Totally vacant and hypnotised
Save me

Try to keep my head in between the lines
Couldn't look away from the serpent's eyes
Totally vacant and hypnotised
Save me
