When The Snake Had Legs

from Conquest by Black Hay

lyrics

When the snake had legs
We walked around so tall and proud
I don't remember a time when the lights weren't shining
When the snake had legs
There was always someone to take for a ride
And you could get what you wanted just by smiling

When the snake had legs
We said yes to everything
It was all just more fruit for consumption


When the snake had legs
Let me tell you in those days I believed
And we thought we would feel that way forever
When the snake had legs
It was everyone else who would fall apart
We knew how all of the pieces fit together

When the snake had legs
We never worried about the cost
But there's a tag and it's hanging off of everything

There's no turning back
There's no turning back

Well too much went wrong
So let me spare you the detail
But I could get around, around, around, around, and around
When the snake had legs
When the snake had legs
When the snake had legs

Black Hay London, UK

Black Hay is the project of London-born Gideon K and a motley crew of collaborators.

Previously described as "Worse than Leonard Cohen", Black Hay's music has gone from noirish garage rock, to grungey alt-country low-rock, via DIY house-bound balladry, to a current incarnation of cold-hearted post-punk indie synth-tronica.

The new single 'Always Be Mine' is out now. ... more
