[Verse 1]
You chase the serpent's tail
Fell into its spell
You went round and round
And you never found
Anything but hell
[Chorus]
You opened up your eyes
Tore apart your skies
You say you fell
I wished you well
Oh, the tales you tell are all lies
[Verse 2]
You rose again to see
The oceans lamenting
How the cliffs do call
The storms' mist falls
It's all fool's gold
The tales you tell
[Verse 3]
The golden words you spoke
Were just an inside joke
You went round and round
And never found
Anything but hell
You went round and round
And never found
Anything but hell
You went round and round
And never found
Anything but hell
