[Verse 1]
Breathing
Making your way through the opening
Corduroy princes and pretty things
Quietly turning away

[Verse 2]
Leaning
Into the arms of your city life
Glorious stars in a shitty sky
Glimmer in perfect decay

[Chorus]
Don't you know?
You are the only one
Serpent-in-claw
Don't you know?
You are the coolest kid
Serpent-in-claw
And I won't let them get you down

[Hook]
Oh, oh-ooh, ooh, oh, oh-ooh
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Hmm-mm
[Verse 3]
Everyone knows where
Everyone goes where?
Everyone knows the words, but you
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Don't, don't, don't, don't
Hmm-mm

[Verse 4]
Laid back
Drunk at the wheel of a foreign car
Nobody wondering where you are
Fixing your hair anyway

[Hook]
And they will never touch you
Serpent-in-claw
Hmm-mm

[Chorus]
You, don't you know?
You are the only one
Serpent-in-claw
Don't you know?
You are the coolest kid
Serpent-in-claw
And I will never let them get you down
[Outro]
Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ooh
And they will never touch you, oh-ooh, oh
