[Verse 1: Busdriver]

I submerged my aura

Yah I was skinny-dipping

Back when I wasn't big

And couldn't pull any vixen

I lured myself

Without that sexy vision

And I spent time

Never penny-pinching

So I never slept with skanks

I saw electric thanks

No walk in septic tanks

But no feelings: expressions blank

My heart's engorged

This is where art is forged

In Snake Lake my body turns to cardboard

And my mind floats

Past the slime and moats

Watch me exercise

The powers I woke

I pour my essence

Into your moist palms

Point to the flagpole

Where we safely hoist songs

Dancing out of place like I was a soybomb

Oh shoot, shit!

Yeah! Hellfyre is goin...


[Hook: Tera Melos]

By the shores of great Snake Lake

Is where I used to stay

It's where I saw the brain

The colour was a shade

By the shores of great Snake Lake

Is where I used to stay

It's where I saw the brain

The colour was a shade


[Verse 2: milo]

I can still recall when I was the King of Carrot Flowers

But now I'm an ersatz coward

Ejaculating over rock prose by the hour

A nasty dude with a misplaced passion for passion fruit

An embarrassing rash, and a stash of lube, eww!

I'm fourteen still

And every morning is marked by an acne pill

Don't ask me what my paintings mean

I'm an angst machine and strengthening

I like musical theatre

KOOL A.D.'s my favourite because he looks weirder

I do not play type end

I have invested my meagre stipend

To a Magic: The Gathering starter pack

I was called a nerd but I'm not bothered with that

I think all people who play sports are wack

My voice might crack in the middle of a diatribe

I'm kinda shy, and I've developed a hunch-back from this knapsack

Undetected bouts of melancholy have slipped past

I hate dodgeball day in gym class

My thin legs are two ashy pistons

This girl in class needs to affirm my existence (Busdriver: pop, pop, pop)

I came to age...


[Hook: Tera Melos]

By the shores of great Snake Lake

Is where I used to stay

It's where I saw the brain

The colour was a shade

By the shores of great Snake Lake

Is where I used to stay

It's where I saw the brain

The colour was a shade

On the shores of big snake lake

The magic fans the flames

Where everybody says

The shadows shift in shapes
