Steve Kilbey - I See Your Beginning lyrics

[Unreleased, from a demo reel dated Dec. 14, 1983.] Don't touch the snake who beckons you, his eyes are full of ice You'll be slippery just like he is, living on bad advice And I see you're beginning to undergo a subtle change of scale It's not the first time that I've noticed, and there on (1:00) hangs a tale The royals (1:28) that they bring at you almost brush your ears Some people just arrived from another world that isn't far from here And I see you're beginning to understand that your circulation's been weird (1:50) And you squeeze the life out of everything, exactly as I feared ...Your beginning I see your beginning I see your beginning
