The Scorpion Sleeps

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Midnight candy, four cups of coffee
I ate my breakfast with a side of eggs
I saw something in the jungle
Low in gear, black mud on my legs
She was something, stretch before me
Her arms into wings, into pillbox heads
Can the side show, wherever you go
Two naked figures in my breath

[Chorus]
Can you see it? If you feel it
The scorpion sleeps right in my hand
A poison dealer, an evil wheeler
How can I make you understand?

Can you see it? If you feel it
The scorpion sleeps right in my hand
A poison dealer, an evil wheeler
How can I make you understand?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah alright, say that's alright, yeah alright
Alright, say that's alright, yeah alright

[Verse 2]
A blue light shindig, well I'm addicted
Killing black kettle is what they saw
I feel like something in the congo
Dead were the women not the warriors
Last great road show, a canvas tilt go
Arms into wings, into pillbox heads
Creep the high-go and keep the down-low
Into the mind of a melting man

[Chorus]
Can you see it? If you feel it
The scorpion sleeps right in my hand
A poison dealer, an evil wheeler
How can I make you understand?

Can you see it? If you feel it
The scorpion sleeps right in my hand
A poison dealer, an evil wheeler
How can I make you understand?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah alright, say that's alright, yeah alright
Alright, say that's alright, yeah alright

[Bridge]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
Can you see it? If you feel it
The scorpion sleeps right in my hand
A poison dealer, an evil wheeler
How can I make you understand?

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah alright, say that's alright, yeah alright
Alright, say that's alright, yeah alright
