Music Title/Track: As Wise as a Serpent
Theme ID: 9606
Album: N/A


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.
