Atlas and the Astronaut - Snake Oil [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Intro]
You wrap the fiber wire
Around her neck
For my arms are tired

[Verse 1]
I had money
Lining my pocket with influence
It was bursting at the seams
From selling human beings
Augmentations of mechanical means
The house was built
With stairways leading no where and why
Closets in closets in closets in closets
Dosed on chemically-fused supply

[Chorus]
With each line of her stroke
Transhumanistically joked

[Verse 2]
I saw the Woman
Where the flowers met the sand
She wore a blue-green dress of batik
And a fair-skinned trend
The court was easy
In a pinstriped vest
And a cinching of my tie
Passing vagrants
With her perfumed fragrance
Turning innocence into mine

[Chorus]

[Outro Hook]
And I whispered in her ear
With a snake-split of the tongue
Don't worry baby
I'm going to come
