Fire In The Blood / Snake Song Lyrics - Singles - Nick Cave, Ralph Stanley, Emmylou Harris

Come walk with me through the pines 

In the morning sun. 

The birds are singing in the pines 

In the morning sun. 

Come stand with me, my darling one, 

Among the trembling pines. 

We feel His presence all around 

Fire in the sky. 

You can't hold me 

I'm too slippery 

I do no sleepin' 

I get lonely 

You can touch me 

If you want to 

I got poison 

I just might bite you 

Lie in circles 

On the sunlight 

Shine like diamonds 

On a dark night 

Ain't no mercy 

In my smilin' 

Only fangs and 

Sweet beguiling 

Future, he don't 

Try to find me 

Skin I been through 

Dies behind me 

Solid hollow 

Wrapped in hatred 

Not a drop of 

Venom wasted 

You can slip in 

Try to find me 

Hold your breath and 

Flat deny me 

It makes no difference 

To my thinkin' 

I'll be here when 

You start sinkin'.
