A pain, a weight your mother knows The sun betrayed a tarnished glow A smoke come down, erase our eyes The sky's too low to recognize All the while the rainbow serpent winds As her children faintly lost their minds Can't be TV, the buried crime A perfect world, a plan sublime Watch your neighbor, buy your face Keeping time, but losing place All the while the rainbow serpent crawls While her children dream of wails and walls In the veins of belief, or the diamonds of our eye, she lingers there Big deal, debrief, a heart of chrome Running scared as the lizards roam The rabbit hole seems far away But the dream of age is here to stay All the while the rainbow serpent smiles Watching all her children's final mile All the while the rainbow serpent smiles Watching all her children's final mile
