[Intro]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah


[Verse 1]

Midnight candy, four cups of coffee

I ate my breakfast with a side of eggs

I saw something in the jungle

Low in gear, black mud on my legs

She was something, stretch before me

Her arms into wings, into pillbox heads

Can the side show, wherever you go

Two naked figures in my breath


[Chorus]

Can you see it? If you feel it

The scorpion sleeps right in my hand

A poison dealer, an evil wheeler

How can I make you understand?

Can you see it? If you feel it

The scorpion sleeps right in my hand

A poison dealer, an evil wheeler

How can I make you understand?


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah alright, say that's alright, yeah alright

Alright, say that's alright, yeah alright


[Verse 2]

A blue light shindig, well I'm addicted

Killing black kettle is what they saw

I feel like something in the congo

Dead were the women not the warriors

Last great road show, a canvas tilt go

Arms into wings, into pillbox heads

Creep the high-go and keep the down-low

Into the mind of a melting man


[Chorus]

Can you see it? If you feel it

The scorpion sleeps right in my hand

A poison dealer, an evil wheeler

How can I make you understand?

Can you see it? If you feel it

The scorpion sleeps right in my hand

A poison dealer, an evil wheeler

How can I make you understand?


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah alright, say that's alright, yeah alright

Alright, say that's alright, yeah alright


[Bridge]

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah


[Chorus]

Can you see it? If you feel it

The scorpion sleeps right in my hand

A poison dealer, an evil wheeler

How can I make you understand?


[Post-Chorus]

Yeah alright, say that's alright, yeah alright

Alright, say that's alright, yeah alright
