Put out the china set that you got on your wedding day Leave all the candles lit, let 'em burn till election day The dog can rip the napkins all to smithereens Golden hair pouncing up when no one's listening 'Cause their stations are locked on Slow songs about lovey things and the weather, you never Yelled when you needed help You'd just wait it out Like serpents in a sun drought Cause serpents in a sun drought wait it out Mary and me were three deep in some desert jamboree Guy sporting howling wolves asks about scoring LSD Even the wolf on his tee could see I'm slipping It's nice to know I'm obviously tripping I guess I'm dripping with these slow songs about lovey things Quick choruses that are too high to sing and too clever, I never Yelled when I needed help I'll just wait it out like serpents in a sun drought 'Cause serpents in the sun don't yell when they needed help I'll just wait it out like serpents in a sun drought 'Cause serpents in a sun drought wait it out Sweatpants, I don't care Heard holidays downstairs Ate ice cream in your chair all afternoon but didn't Yell when you needed help, you'll just wait it out Like serpents in a sun drought 'Cause serpents in the sun don't Yell when they needed help You'll just wait it out like serpents in a sun drought 'Cause serpents in a sun drought wait it out
