Lyrics

The middle of November
in the basement of a church
when I was at my worst

Can't recall much of that night
except seein' the rest of my life,
In the face of a man who's dyin' 

He spoke a simple truth
The kind that comes with long goodbyes
A broken stare, through amber eyes

He said the python first appeared
In a mason whiskey jar
it took him by the throat
they went flyin'

It can find you in the daytime 
or when the sun goes down
And you might not even notice
It will lie and you will listen
tells you all you need to know
And forget about who you were....

I put in my overtime
after run-in out the clock
Somewhere
between a hard place and a rock

Pigeon eyed sermon
Sour air and curtain stalls
Well it gave me all the comfort
I was needing

But by then I'd lost it all
The kids, the second wife and mercy
In a coffin bed motel 
Dead bottles and day time tv
My hour was getting late,
drinkin to live and drinkin' to drink
Gave in to the grip of the
undefeated

It can find you in the daytime 
or when the sun goes down
And you might not even notice
It will lie and you will listen
tells you all you need to know
And forget about who you were....

I learned about the python,
I learned about the python
It don't care about your riches,
your colour or your name,
It only wants the good stuff,
buried deep within

It can find you in the daytime 
or when the sun goes down
And you might not even notice it 
until you're wrapped around
It will lie and you will listen
it will lie and you will listen
And forget about who you were, 
as the python just hangs on, 
and won't let go
