Rainbow Serpent - The String Cheese Incident

A pain, a weight your mother knows

The sun betrayed a tarnished glow

A smoke come down, erase our eyes

The sky’s too low to recognize

All the while the rainbow serpent winds

As her children faintly lost their minds

Can’t be TV, the buried crime

A perfect world, a plan sublime

Watch your neighbor, buy your face

Keeping time, but losing place

All the while the rainbow serpent crawls

While her children dream of wails and walls

In the veins of belief, or the diamonds of our eye, she lingers there

Big deal, debrief, a heart of chrome

Running scared as the lizards roam

The rabbit hole seems far away

But the dream of age is here to stay

All the while the rainbow serpent smiles

Watching all her children’s final mile

All the while the rainbow serpent smiles

Watching all her children’s final mile
