"Fire In The Blood / Snake Song" lyrics - NICK CAVE & WARREN ELLIS
[Verse 1: Ralph Stanley]
Come walk with me through the pines
In the morning sun
The birds are singing in the pines
In the morning sun
[Verse 2: Ralph Stanley]
Come stand with me, my darling one
Among the trembling pines
We feel His presence all around
Fire in the sky
[Verse 3: Emmylou Harris]
You can't hold me, I'm too slippy
I do no sleeping, I get wandering
You can touch me if you want to
I got poison, just my body
[Verse 4: Emmylou Harris]
Lie in circle on the sunlight
Shine like diamonds on a dark night
Ain't no blessing in my smile
Only things that sway me back
[Verse 5: Emmylou Harris]
Future, he don't try to find me
Skin I've been through dies behind me
Solid hollow wrapped in hatred
Not a drop of venom wasted
[Verse 6: Emmylou Harris]
You can slip and try to find me
Hold your breath and fled deny me
Makes no difference to my thinking
I'll be here and you start sinking
