Baby Snake - Slow Gherkin

You’re just a little kid

You shouldn’t have to pay for what your elders did

We give all our love

Sometimes love alone isn’t good enough

But thems the brakes

You have so many demons trying to take you down

Inside and out

How do you live like you do

With the televisions screaming from every room

And your cell phones and toys

I guess anyone would lose it with all that noise

You say you don’t care

But you can’t repress your spirit, I know it’s there

Somewhere

WHAT WE ALL NEED IS SOME STABILITY

'COS THIS COMING AND GOING IS KILLING ME

I’n never around

See you every couple months when the band’s in town

And we’re gone the next day

I don’t even have the time to see if you’re okay

I could never be

A figure of dependence or authority

Please forgive me

What we all need is some stability

'Cos this coming and going is killing me

You’re a baby snake

With a lethal little bite that you can’t regulate

And it takes all I’ve got

Not to yield to the venom and write you off

What to do

You could squander your potential or see it through

It’s up to you
