Serpent in a Sun Drought

[Verse 1]
Put out the china set that you got on your wedding day
Leave all the candles lit, let 'em burn till election day
The dog can rip the napkins all to smithereens
Golden hair pouncing up when no one's listening
'Cause their stations are locked on
Slow songs about lovey things and the weather, you never

[Chorus]
Yelled when you needed help
You'd just wait it out
Like serpents in a sun drought
Cause serpents in a sun drought wait it out

[Verse 2]
Mary and me were three deep in some desert jamboree
Guy sporting howling wolves asks about scoring LSD
Even the wolf on his tee could see I'm slipping
It's nice to know I'm obviously tripping
I guess I'm dripping with these slow songs about lovey things
Quick choruses that are too high to sing and too clever, I never

[Chorus]
Yelled when I needed help
I'll just wait it out like serpents in a sun drought
'Cause serpents in the sun don't yell when they needed help
I'll just wait it out like serpents in a sun drought
'Cause serpents in a sun drought wait it out

[Bridge]
Sweatpants, I don't care
Heard holidays downstairs
Ate ice cream in your chair all afternoon but didn't

[Chorus]
Yell when you needed help, you'll just wait it out
Like serpents in a sun drought
'Cause serpents in the sun don't
Yell when they needed help
You'll just wait it out like serpents in a sun drought
'Cause serpents in a sun drought wait it out
