This is the lion’s den
I hope you knew that before you came in
This is where the angels and the devils fight
And they’re choosing up sides tonight

I am the son of the wild wild west
And I know the earth is flat
So I was sailing my prairie schooner one day
When I fell off the edge of the map
And my oh my to my surprise
I landed on foreign soil
It was another planet another world
And it was populated by boys and girls

Snakedance all over the world
Snakedance all you boys and girls
Snakedance you got to form a big line
Snakedance you got to have a good time

Well the kids in Boston all wear black
New Yorkers never see the sun
And the kids in Minneapolis don’t wear hats
And everyone from Texas is from someplace else
And if you ever seen that LA scene man
You know it ain’t no Jan and Dean

(chorus)

This is the lion’s den
I hope you knew that before you came in
This is where the angels and the devils fight
And they’re choosing up sides tonight
I’m part man I’m part monkey
Part man part monkey part mystery
And the angels and the devils
Are playing tug of war with my personality

(chorus)
