Snake Oil (CCTV session) Songtext
von Foals

Yeah, you keep it slow
Yeah, you keep it low, well

You sell snake oil to the butcher
The butcher′s bill must always be paid
It's a wild wait to wait and it leads to no surprises
No surprise, no-one gets laid

You put the snake oil under my tongue
Show me the door, the way to be free
′Cause you know the moves that only you do
Makes fools of a boy like me, ooh, ooh

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Oh

You sell snake oil to the sinners
When all they crave is just to be free
It's a wild tease, tease me with nothing better
Nothing better, slower than me


You cast a spell that keeps me wired
Keeps me red, keeps me on fire
So why do you take me down, down to nothing
Always out cold, never been higher

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

In the day you leave me to want what I crave
No surprise to want what I can't find
You said it again
Come on again
Driving you said
You said it again

Driving through the old county line
Where I go to find what is mine
Ooooh
Ooooh

In the day you leave me to want what I crave
No surprise to want what I can′t find
