Serpents

We walked along the wall
Shared some alcohol
Felt small against the sea
And shuddered at it all
Looked at those condo lights
Centuries in the night
Still on guard along the shore
When you said you might
We started to black out
I don’t remember much
But I’m sure that we kissed
Twist together like two serpents in the mist
I don’t remember much
I’m not sure what I missed
Twist together like two serpents in the mist
We woke up in a daze
Ultraviolet rays
How my head was pounding
Let me count the ways
I looked you in the eye
Asked --
You just smiled back
Then you said you might
We started to black out
I don’t remember much
But I’m sure that we kissed
-- two serpents in the mist
-- I’m not sure what I missed
Twist together like two serpents in the mist
Two serpents in the mist
