As Wise As A Serpent

(앨범: Sleepwalking - 1982)

Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
While the spirits come and go without a sound
And just like you and me, they're trying to find a way, find a way, find a way home.

There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me
I don't ever hang my soul out on the line
When the witching hour comes, I always fly away, fly away, fly away home.

There's a light in the city, that comes down from above
Leaving you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.

Now you once asked me why we can't communicate
But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth
If I told you right now, you'd only run away, run away, run away home
So we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away
While the spirits come and go without a sound
Yeah just like you and me, they're trying to find a way, find a way, find a way home.

There's a light in the city, that comes down from above
Leaving you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love
You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove.
