Slither On

I fell asleep starin' at the telephone

The radio was blarin' all the lights were on

A couch and coffee table

That's my home

I'd been thinkin' to myself

Yeah this ain't no good

Anything would be better

Anyone would do

Soon I was crawling

Near your neighborhood

I woke up on your lawn

Half frozen at the break of dawn

Low and slow I'll crawl on home

I'll stay out of sight

And when I slithered on

Down that avenue last night

I musta' been looking to your window

For some warmth

Or some light

It was pretty late

Yeah late last night

I got an old man's body

I got a young man's heart

It took my way too long

Just to crawl this far

And I didn't do nothing wrong

Still I best slither on

Shouldn't be looking to your window

For no warmth

Or no light

Maybe tomorrow...

I feel a little chill

It ain't no big deal

I'd like to stand up

I ain't got no knees...

And if I slither on

Down that avenue tonight

I know your street

Is up there on the right

It's cold tonight but the pavement burns

'cuz I don't never seem to learn

I ain't gonna make that turn

I roll low and slow

I'll keep out of sight

'cuz it's always too late

Yeah late last night
