LYRICS
Wake!
There’s a wake from a quake
A tsunami headin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
There’s a flood of information comin’ right at me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

Wake!
For goodness sake… it’s a fake
A wave of dishonesty comin’ right for me

Better seek out whether higher ground can be found

LYRICS
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
Livin’ so peacefully
Old King Cole was a merry old soul
A merry old soul was he
Smokin’ his pipe and listening to his fiddlers three

Chorus
A merry old soul
A merry old soul
A merry old soul was he

Andrew Wyeth’s Brandywine bank
Makes for perfect scenery
Andrew Wyeth on Brandywine’s bank
Livin’ so peacefully
With his paints and artistry
… he’d capture history

Chorus

The indigenous Lenape
Living in Lenape
The indigenous Lenape
Livin’ so peacefully
Smokin’ peace pipes in a teepee
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers
Dancin’ to drummers merrily

LYRICS
Are you awake?
There’s a big ass snake
Swimming in our water
You may wish to go no further

Why did he pick today
To come out and play
Silently slithering with no wake

Look! Upon the rock top
Coiled in the sun
Do you fell the urge to run?
Stop!

You’re sure you’re the cure
Mixer of the fixer elixir
Or snake oil salesman?

Amen

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — D (slithering slide)
G A D
E D

Written and recorded on the banks of the Brandywine River in Lenape, PA. The song was inspired by a large (over four feet long) Northern Water Snake. It crawled out from under the rocks I was sitting on, swam through the swimming hole and sunned itself on rocks on the other side.

Daniel — Vocals, Guitar
