Lyrics
Engine stalling
Redwood falling
Babies bawling
Sheriff calling
Another child missing
Black snake hissing
Radio squawking
Searchers walking
Media stalking
Everybody talking
Mother in ruins
What's black snake doing?
Fox in the hen house
Cat amongst the pigeons
Fire in the stable
A snake in the cradle
Evidence burning
Fast wheels turning
Insides churning
Nobody learning
Nobody listening
Snake tooth glistening
Fox in the hen house
Cat amongst the pigeons
Cards on the table
A snake in the cradle
