Don’t touch the snake who beckons you, his eyes are full of ice
You’ll be slippery just like he is, living on bad advice
And I see you’re beginning to undergo a subtle change of scale
It’s not the first time that I’ve noticed, and there on (1:00) hangs a tale
The royals (1:28) that they bring at you almost brush your ears
Some people just arrived from another world that isn’t far from here
And I see you’re beginning to understand that your circulation’s been weird (1:50)
And you squeeze the life out of everything, exactly as I feared
…Your beginning
I see your beginning
I see your beginning
