Ladders And Snakes

[Strange Days - Matthew Good Band]
( Believe in Deja Vu? )

How long til the hand moves?
And this shabby piece,
Sees the dawning light...

How long do I sit here?
Waitin' on an idea,
from a radio song...

The snakes maybe waitin' for you out there...
But there are enough ladders
to help you "double dare"...
Just have to move to land somewhere...
*
How long do I waste time?
Hopin' in the end it'll soon pay off...

How long do I prove wrong?
The voices that ask me,
When will I begin strong?

The snakes may have brought you down...
It won't be long til they hand you the crown...
Just gotta move to land somewhere sound....
*
How long can you take it?
Is it worth your life?
And al their shit?

How long will you sit here?
Wishin' and starin'
At the dull empty pit....

How long, How long?
It'll have to end,
When you finally begin....

And the snakes might be there,
Crossin' your way...
But they can't keep you
from treadin' your way....
The ladders will always bring you up....
Oh yes, they're enough to give them hiccups.....

How Long?
It's never too long...
Whether they bomb Hong Kong,
Or stretch up Shillong....
The ladders are there,
So keep movin' on...

Its time. Green lime.
The thinkin' stops and the doin' begins....
