Текст песни: Snake Ladders + перевод

I don’t need your salt rubbed in my wounds

I won’t try and tell you what you sould be or do

You dwell in your own tree and Iìll leave you that way

Now walk through the jungle of mystery

«Who goes there?» you cried out to the night

A snake appeared ahead with demonic eyes, he said

«Hey come follow me, I’ll show you the way»

You said «OK, I’ll do anything you say»

There ain’t no love in the air you breathe

There ain’t no fire in the hearts you leave

Try to reminisce of how things used to be

Before you climb so high on that darkened tree

The snake slithered on through the jungle

You followed, but tightly in your palm, holding a rock

Waiting for your moment, yea

At last you reached the river

It was a beautiful waterfall, but nowhere to cross

He turned and said «we must wait here for the boatman»

As he turned back, you cracked him over the head

And tossed him into the water

He was no use to you anymore

There ain’t no love in the air you breathe

There ain’t no fire in the hearts you leave

Try to reminisce of how things used to be

Before you climb so high on that darkened tree

At last the boatman came

Over at him you waved shouting

«Please take me to the other side»

Boatman looked up and said «OK come take a ride»

You then asked «Have you any food?»

And then he smiled saying

«Yea, I do, why don’t you come stay with me for a while»

(If you need a place to crash a while)

Nights and days went by, and closer you became

Until you found a map of that goldmine

Off you ran into the midst of night

'til you come to a crooked old bridge

You weren’t to know it was far too weak

As you fell into the rapids below

Then trying to swim up and over to the other side

Eventually, you pulled yourself out

Then staring back at a reflection into your own eyes

Screaming and wailing in the night

There ain’t no love in the air you breathe

There ain’t no fire in the hearts you leave

Try to reminisce of how things used to be

Before you climb so high on that darkened tree

There ain’t no love

There ain’t no love

There ain’t no fire

There ain’t no fire

Try to reminisce of how things used to be

Before you climb so high on that darkened tree
