Lyrics:

Get on the snake
With a swarm of motor flies
Get on the snake
Under the Cola colored sky

Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean

Get on the snake
Where the metal river bleeds
Get on the snake
Where you never will believe

Hey baby, what's your disease
My heart's bleeding, I'm dying to leave

Get on the snake
Where the water turns to steam
Get on the snake
With a suicide machine

Don't worry, everything's clean
Road worthy, hungry and mean
Hungry and mean...
Hungry and mean... 

The song is about a road. Not a penis. I'm working on 'Full On Kev's Mom'
because I couldn't find the tab anywhere and I figured I owed it to society
to tab it out. Also coming soon:
'I Awake'
'Hands All Over'

I want the tab to 'No Wrong, No Right'
