Текст песни The Snake Wife - Subterfuge

The side of the pitch
The slide in the park
The gate after school
The bench at the pub
Empty spaces
Left out traces
Passed by for brighter days ahead
And the snake wife

The price you pay is the turn away
A silence that keeps the dogs at bay
This friendly avoidance
That carries us through space and time
Until it's all gone

Time out in the woods
Tuesday night friends
Your head in the files with the tv on
All missed chances
Pointless dances
A life spent in a dream of brighter days
With the snake wife

The price you pay is the slow decay
Indifference that keeps the dogs at bay
The price you pay for the snake wife
The price you pay for the snake wife
(Snake wife)
The price you pay for the snake wife
(Snake wife)
(Snake wife)
The price you pay for those bright lights
(Bright lights)
(Bright lights)
