Brown like my eyes
Cold in the river tonight
There's a hundred cities
Not as pretty as you
Yeah, you've always been there
Yeah, you always come through

But if I died and went to heaven
Then heaven would be this place
Maybe I'm smitten
Bitten by the brown snake

It winds around this country town
Sometimes a flood brings us to tears
It's in our blood
Through all the years I cut my heart
The brown snake, a work of art
A work of art

Brown like my skin
Where my first memories begin
It's never too late
To see the need of an [?]
It's always raining
Yeah, in the sunshine state

But if I died and went to heaven
Then heaven would be this place
Maybe I'm smitten
Bitten by the brown snake

It winds around this country town
Sometimes a flood brings us to tears
It's in our blood
Through all the years I cut my heart
The brown snake, a work of art
A work of art

It's in my blood
Through all the years I cut my heart
The brown snake, a work of art
A work of art
