Conor Oberst Snake Hill From the new album "Outer South" (F) I was born on Snake Hill

And that's wh^Fere I'll probably die Because ^FI don't like to kill But I've got poi^Dmson in my bite Well, ^FI feel safe to say That I^F should probably stay upon Sn^Fake Hill My m^Fother told me, "Son, you've go^Ft strychnine in your blood It co^Fmes from pedigree ance^Gstry" She wa^Dmrned me not to leave Said my con^Fcience was too deep That when I b^Fite It would h^Gurt mostly ^Fme F^For many many years I sta^Fyed up on that hill Occ^Fasionally I'd go down to the e^Gdge To s^Fee what I could see So curi^Fosity got the best of ^Fme

Its a b^Fig world and it's not f^Fair to me To have to s^Ftay when there's so m^Fuch to see I want to p^Flay with others th^Fat I need to m^Geet P^Dmoison will be po^Fison until it's thr^Fough

Soon I hit the world I discovered that a girl Was what my mother tried to hide from me She could make you feel alive She could make you want to die And that's exactly what she did to me And it was only self defense And I coiled up and I bit I let my venom run into her veins And I sat and watched her die Then I realized I was born on Snake Hill And that's where I'll probably die Because I don't like to kill But I've got poison in my bite Well, I feel safe to say That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill And it's a big world and it's not fair to me To have to stay when there's so much to see I want to play with others that I need to meet And poison will be poison until it's through Poison will be poison until it's through Poison will be poison until it's through Poison will be poison until it's through
