I'm the path of least resistance,
I'm a highway, wide and clear,
I'm the French bread in the desert, that you'll eat when death is near.

I'm a snake, I stand tall,
Snake - watch me crawl.

Put me on a pedestal, or put me on a pulpit, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I can be a victim, I can be a culprit. (slither, slither, slither, slither)

I'm a snake, I stand tall,
Snake - when I crawl,
I won't break when you fall,
Snake - up against the wall.

I can be a president, I can be a pawn, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling in your TV, crawling on your lawn, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling up your bedpost, crawling through your door, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling out your bookcase, and right across the floor. (slither, slither, slither, slither)

I'm the water in the desert that you knew was a mirage,
I'm the fake gem in the pawn shop that you hocked and then re-bought,
I'm the talent that you buried, and lost interest in and on,
I'm the life that you made sport of; dropped the ball and then you run.

I'm a snake, I stand tall,
Snake - watch me crawl,
I won't break when you fall,
Snake - up against the wall.

I'm crawling when you're happy and crawling when you're sad, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling up your mother and I'm crawling down your dad, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling on your lovers and I'm crawling on your friends, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling everywhere 'cause my crawling never ends, (slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, (slither, slither, slither, slither, slither)
I'm crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling, crawling. (slither, slither slither, slither, slither)
