Lyrics

by Townes Van Zandt

You can't hold me

I'm too slippery

I do no sleepin'

I get lonely

you can touch me

if you want to

I got poison

I just might bite you

Lie in circles

on the sunlight

shine like diamonds

on a dark night

ain't no mercy

in my smilin'

only fangs and

sweet beguiling

Future, he don't

try to find me

skin I been through

dies behind me

solid hollow

wrapped in hatred

not a drop of

venom wasted

You can slip in

try to find me

hold your breath and

flat deny me

it makes no difference

to my thinkin'

I'll be here when

you start sinkin'.
