Serpent-In-Claw

(album: Gary Jules - 2006)

Breathing,
Making your way through the opening
Corduroy princes and pretty things
Quietly turning away

Leaning
Into the arms of your city life
Glorious stars in a shitty sky
Glimmer in perfect decay

Don't you know you are the only one
Serpent-in-claw
Don't you know you are the coolest kid
Serpent-in-claw
And I won't let them get you down

Everyone knows
Where everyone goes
Where everyone knows the words
But you

Laid back
Drunk at the wheel of a foreign car
Nobody wondering where you are
Fixing your hair anyway
And they will never touch you
Serpent-in-claw

Don't you know you are the only one
Serpent-in-claw
Don't you know you are the coolest kid
Serpent-in-claw
And I won't ever let them get you down

And they will never touch you
