Black Snake leads me down
Down into ground
Down into ground
I’m following her trail
Of winding scale
I slither slow, deep down below I’m following my instincts

Black Snake slither slow
Beneath the world I think I know
I shed it like a skin
I go within
I’m stripping back, back
Slither Black Snake to where I can begin

I flow like water seeking serpent way to lower ground

Black Snake leads me down
Down into ground
Down into ground
Through memory and bone
Through root and stone
Leaves me alone
Deep down below
The life that I have been living

Black Snake leads me down
Down into underground
Into underground
I’m swallowing my tail
Of spiral scale
I circle round, round
I spiral down
I’m ready now to

Start again start again start again start again start again start again
I move like water seeking serpent way to lower ground
 
Echo & the Bunnymen – "Villiers Terrace" (1980)



I've been up to Villiers Terrace
To see what's happening.
There's people rolling 'round on the carpet,
Mixing up the medicine.

I've been up to Villiers Terrace,
I saw what's happening:
People rolling 'round on the carpet,
Biting wool and pulling string.

You said people rolled on carpet
But I never thought they'd do those things.

Future Islands : Light House




When I couldn't see you for the wall
What was that you said?
What was that you said before you called?

And when I couldn't catch you for the fall
What was that you said?
What was that you said?
"Nothing hurts this much"

But I've seen the way
That bodies lie and bodies tend to break
And I've been away
I've been away too long...too long to be afraid

But you know
What you know is better...Is brighter

And you know, you know
What you know is better...Is brighter

And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park...You said to me

This is not you
This is not you
This is not you!
This is not you!

But I've seen the way
That bodies lie and bodies tend to break
And I've been away
I've been away too long..and I don't know a better place

But you know
What you know is better
Is brighter

And you know, you know
What you know is better
Is brighter

And this is where we were
When I showed you the dark
Inside of me, in spite of me
On a bench in the park

And this is where we are
In your bed, in my arms
Outside of me, in spite of 'we'
I showed you the dark

And you said to me..you know
What you know is better...Is brighter

And you know, you know
What you know is better

....Is brighter......
