Serpent Charmer - Iron & Wine

There's a woman here

with a record player

And a dusty compass off

to map the country's new behavior

Strange words

that we hold on back into the river

Brave boys in the empty coats of men

There's a kitchen timer

distractions and reminders

Rolly pollies started crawling

across your family's china

Strange words that

we hold on back into the river

Dead dogs on the winter night again

There's a serpent charmer

pair of shoes and wander

Speeding ticket you're not leaving

that last land of slaughter

Strange words that

we hold on back into the river

Good girls come

and kick you in the shin

There's a hopeful hunter

that has a sense of wonder

And leaving claw marks on the rock

he hid his money under

Strange words

that we hold on back into the river

And made men only want to live again
