[Verse 1]
EmMeet me Dby the coppice Emstool,
Before the Dnight takes back its Emjewels.
Bring your Dlife of memo-Emries,
Be-fore they Dsink into the Emseas.
[Chorus 1]
GSnakes,
CAre coming to your Emtown.
In Dtun-nels under-Cground,
Some Dtravelling over-Cground.
DA plague for our Gmis-takes,
They'll Cbe right next to Emyou.
Snakes, up Dagain-st me Ctoo,
There'll Dbe nothing Cto do.
DWhen the Crat-tle Emsha-kes.

[Verse 2]
EmOne more Dglass and then we're Emdry,
Say some Dwords, I'll write them Emdown.
Feel the Dcoup-lets deep Eminside.
[Chorus 2]
GSnakes,
CAre coming to your Emtown.
In Dtun-nels under-Cground,
Some Dtravelling over-Cground.
DA plague for our Gmis-takes,
They'll Cbe right next to Emyou.
Snakes, up Dagain-st me Ctoo,
There'll Dbe nothing Cto do.
DWhen the Crat-tle Emsha-kes.

NOTES.
1. “…The Pixies came up with this song in the studio whilst recording EP2. "I'm not a jammer,"
said guitarist Joey Santiago, "but Black Francis and I started jamming it out. I had this little idea
and I did that sliding guitar just to emulate a snake."…”
