Let the snake crawl around on your floor

You're not afraid of its tongue

Or its tiny heart

It lays curled up on the corner

Watching Craig and Jose

Hisses quietly to itself

Doesn't have a thing good to say

Like the fire's final spark

Like predictable behavior

The last drop in the battery

Food that lost its flavor

Blood inside like ground below

Just growing colder

No freedom in cowardice

Poison fangs give no power

The only love you'll ever grow

Is to look beyond the things you know

The things you know

To crawl out of its hole

A hired car and a 747

Wants to swallow the world whole

Including hell including heaven

Tiny eyes that strain to see

The point behind all this gift giving

Well, snakes may come and snakes may go

Jose and Craig--well, they're still living

The only love you'll ever grow

Is to look beyond the things you know

The only love you'll ever grow

Is to look beyond the things you know

The things you know

The things you know
