[rev. Dec. 15, 2021]

Don't touch the snake who beckons you, his eyes are full of ice
You'll be slippery just like he is, living on many mice

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 hangs a tale

The royalties that they fling 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
And you squeeze the life out of everything, exactly as I feared

I see your beginning
[Repeated to end of song]
