As Wise As A Serpent

Well we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

While the spirits come and go without a sound

And just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way

Find a way, find a way home



There's a full moon in the sky, but that don't worry me

I don't ever hang my soul out on the line

When the witchin' hour comes, I always fly away

Fly away, fly away home



There's a light in the city, that comes down from above

Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love

You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove



Now you once asked me why we can't communicate

But it doesn't always pay to tell the truth

If I told you right now, you'd only run away

Run away, run away home



So, we sit in empty rooms and dream our lives away

While the spirits come and go without a sound

Yeah, just like you and me, they're tryin' to find a way

Find a way, find a way home



There's a light in the city, that comes down from above

Leavin' you as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove

Don't blow your tomorrows, don't throw away your love

You've got to be as wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove
