Snakes And Ladders

and if you believed, believed, believed in security
would you be here, relying on me?
could you keep yourself honest?
honest, oh honest to God?
do you think you can trust this?
lose this, and move yourself on?

would you clip my wings?
would you teach me to fly?
and, oh – life is just a game
i think i’ve climbed up, but i’m
sliding down a snake

if you were sure
sure of your integrity
would you be here
defending, depending on me
would you think yourself worthy
of everything you had got
would you spend your life trying to fit in
being something you’re not

would you clip my wings?
would you teach me to fly?
and oh….. life is just a game
i think i’ve climbed up, but i’m
sliding down a snake

if you could be
any god damn thing you please
would you be here
before me down on bended knees
do you think you can handle
all lifes little triumphs and tears
all these seeds that you sow
could grow and grow more bitter with years

would you teach me to sing?
or would you just make me cry?
oooh
life is funny hey
i think i’ve climbed up, but i’m
sliding down a snake
