Lyrics
SNAKES IN MY GARDEN
Snakes in my garden
Weeds in my crops
Dogs in the chicken coop
Feathers and barks
My mind's in the ash heap
Body's so cold
Mind's in the ash heap
And I'm feeling like Job
Got Satan on my shoulder
Laughing like mad
I feel like a fighter
Knocked out on the mat
My mind's in the ash heap
Body's so cold
Mind's in the ash heap
And I'm feeling like Job
God's in a corner
But it ain't mine
Fight's done been fixed
And the bet is my life
My mind's in the ash heap
Body's so cold
Mind's in the ash heap
And I'm feeling like Job
My girl is in the audience
Rooting for the other guy
Rooting for the other guy
And I'm on the ropes and
She's rooting for the other guy
Mind's in the ash heap
Body's so cold
Mind is in the ash heap
And I'm feeling like Job
My mind is in the ash heap
Body's so cold
Mind's in the ash heap
And I'm feeling like Job
