Snakes are Just Breakfast for the Eagles

lyrics

Snakes are just breakfast for the eagles
And you, you are an eagle

Here, where I have come up to the surface and rolled over with my stomach bare
I wonder, who is that diver, that magician on the air

So when you take me across this flat land
to play with the thing I think your god may never understand

Underneath that white oak tree
I laid it all out for the sky to see

It was evening time, the sun going down
I'd turn myself purple and green
just to be the body that brings you on down to me

So what can you take from me
Beyond my horizon lies infinity
And you can take and change and cover me
But I'm alive in what you taste and feel

There's nobody else, There's nobody else
You think I caught my leg in this fence just to turn around and free myself
There's nobody else, There's nobody else

And when I have finally given in, and when I have finally given in
That's where you and I begin

Snakes are just breakfast for the eagles
And you, you are an eagle

My heart is free, My soul is free
And everything that you see is me
So when you fly through the sky
And I am shaking, and I am waving, and I am running
Just to catch your eye
Come on down and see
Come on down to me
I tell you, my heart is free
