Richard Lloyd - Raising the Serpent lyrics

She's been living in the mirror, i'd like to follow her down Like a suitcase of emeralds, that she can wear in her crown And she says that she needs it, so i've been giving her some And now she says that she knows me, but can't remember where from She's been raising the serpent, and has a bird that can fly And now she's holding my monkey but still she don't tell me why She's been digging for the answers, in a beat-up garage She's been building her castles, out of old lincoln logs And she wants me to live there, we'll have a torried affair Just like the fox in its foxhole, just like the rabbit in its lair She's been raising the serpent, and has a bird that can fly And now she's holding my monkey but still she don't tell me why She's so soft, that i know she will cry When the daylight comes and steals away her night Well i just saw her yesterday, and she is still going down Just like the cheshire cat baby, well all that's left is her frown But i'm still standing beside her, i'm a dangerous man And we're looking for laughter, we're doing the best that we can She's raising the serpent, etc....
