There's more than a feeling
Than a differing mind to anatomy
On my own who's going to hold me?
A burning heart lifts me up to my life
I can't run from the truth and I won't try
'Cause it wouldn't matter who you were in this world
There's nothing on earth that we can't change
But on the inside I could never be the same
Came into the garden, babe
Oh, you got to come on in
Come into the secret garden
We're changing the way we're made
And in our own eyes
We're going to move the mountain
So how do you see me now? Can you see me?
Don't butter me up and tell me lies
I've seen the black and white colored in your eyes
But trapped in a cage is not the place
You can leave me or cover it up to ease your mind
In this confusion I can always see the light into the garden
Come into the garden, babe
Oh, come on in
Come into the secret garden
We're changing the way we're made
You'll never know it feels not to be one thing or the other
If there was a world without hypocrisy
You never know I might just be something you need
It wouldn't matter who you were in this world
Knowing yourself is so much more
Take one step forward and you open up the door
Come into the garden, babe
Oh, come on in
Come into the secret garden
We're changing the way we're made
Come into the garden, babe
Oh, come on in
Come into the secret garden
We're changing the way we're made
Come into the garden, babe
Spend most of your time looking in a mirror,
Same face you saw yesterday
Why don’t you give yourself a break, darlin’,
Take a walk outside your mind for a change
Find yourself another woman
Find yourself another way
Find yourself another woman
Find yourself what you call a one night stand
Spend most of your time talking ‘bout the weather
Then it’s cold outside and you won’t really care
I’d say you’re just a little spoiled, pretty boy
You walked the line, but stayed far behind
‘Cause it’s a long way back from what it used to be
I feel a little torn up
A little broken up
And this time I think it’s over
Find yourself another woman,
Another woman
Find yourself another woman
Find yourself another way
Just when you think you’ve been forgotten
There’s a letter at your door
Your face turned red when you thought, I would call
And you say, the mailman must have been sick today
It’s midnight and the trains are going by
It’s been an hour since you last thought
You could cry
And you’re still trying to find a way
To fall out of love
If you need it all, I’m sorry baby
If you needed more, I’m sorry now
If you need it all, I’m sorry baby
I’m not half of all, that you’re looking for
Now everybody’s talking
Whispers all through the walls
And everyone’s saying look how they messed up
Well, at least it’s not our fault
But in the midst of it all, you’re lying there alone
Thinking maybe it’s best for the two of us to be on our own
And even now that I’m so far away I can still feel that you let go
And it’s strange how it’s all these little things
That turn me around
I just wish I had more time to say it all
Didn’t you know my life would fall?
Oh no, now you’ve really gone and done it
Was I waiting here too long?
Oh no, even the floor got cold.
And I want to call home to see if you’re not alone
And I want to call home to see if you’re not alone
Not alone, not alone
Your eyes are watching while I turn to stone
And the city trembles, the clouds unfold
And still somehow you grab a hold of me,
Spin me around a few times and let go of me
Did you forget to be true to me?
Oh no, now I can see
Your eyes are watching while I turn to stone
And the city trembles, the clouds unfold
And I want to call home to see if you’re not alone
And I need to call home to see if you’re not alone
If you’re going into the city
Can I follow behind
And if you think it’s all so pretty
I might just lose my mind
‘Cause it’s been raining all the time
Yeah, it’s been raining all the time
And I might not know how to find
My way back home
And if you’re feeling sorta’ weary
Let me change your troubled mind
And if you need me to be crazy
I’ll only have to be kind
‘Cause it’s been raining all the time
And it’s been raining all the time
And I might not know how to find
My way back home
And it’s one tear tonight
One tomorrow
And you leave me tonight,
You’re back tomorrow
If you’re going into the city
Can I follow behind
And if you’re leaving in the morning
Can you take my worried mind
‘Cause it’s been raining all the time
And it’s been raining all the time
And I might not know how to find
My way back home
It’s been raining all the time
It’s been raining all the time
And I might not know how to find
Leave me in my sweet misery
‘Cause I’d rather be alone
than chase you around all the time
‘Cause you know darlin’
And darlin’ I know
You should find something better
And do what you want with your life
And tell who you want, that you found light
I think I’ll just fade away
Float like a feather,
Be deranged like the rain
Toss and turn like the weather
I think I’ll just fade away
Float like a feather,
Be deranged like the rain
Toss and turn like the weather
And maybe I’ll take a while,
To miss you
So forgive me,
I honestly don’t mean to be confused
Although I’d like to think
I’ve been a little misused
And so I guess I shouldn’t really care
If I win or lose,
But it’s good you know
I’ll let you be the one to choose
So do what you want with your life
I’m on the road again
The last to leave him
Would he ever remember me
Now I’m far away
The past behind me
Fallen shadows on a sunny day
And I don’t know just where I’m going
But I do know where I’ve been
Didn’t we cry together
I guess the tears ran dry
The memories came back slow
Goodbye Jeremy
Such a long way home
Goodbye Jeremy
Now living in the city
All these people
A million faces trying to find a way
And I’ll say it though it’s silly
I can’t find my style
I roll like dice
You can put me away real nice
'Cause I, I won't cause trouble
No more trouble for you
I'm cold as ice
I stopped to think twice
Why, why I would hurt you
Let me hold you
Let me hold you
'Cause you break
And you take
And you please
And you tease me
Comes with ease
When you touch me
I'm like a prize
Pretty to unwrap and then...
Time to throw away
I look you in the eye
Make you want to do crazy things
So you think I don't know you
Let me hold you
Let me hold you
And you break
And you take
And you please
And you tease me
Comes with ease
I love you every morning
When your light shines, it does its healing
When you're in pain, I feel your suffering
And I feel helpless 'cause I can't do a thing
I know we are close, I hear your heart beating
Together as one
We're moving on
[x3]
Hear me when me say
Hear me when me say
You seem to understand all my feelings
and work out all my troubles and dealings,
being there for me no matter how it seems,
knowing what I'll do and what I'm doing.
So grateful for how lucky I have been
Together as one
We're moving on
Together as one
We're moving on
Together as one, one, one, one, one
We're moving on
Hear me when me say
Hear me when me say
When night comes, don't forget those
people who are outside sleeping in the cold.
When you're warm in bed, blankets cover your toes -
be sure to give thanks, 'cause you'll never know,
it might be you someday without a roof or clothes.
Together as one
We're moving on
Together as one
We'll be moving on
Together as one, one, one, one, one
We're moving on
Hear me when me say
Hear me when me say
I love you every morning
When your light shines, it leaves me weeping
When you're in pain, I feel your suffering
and I feel helpless 'cause I can't do a thing
I know we are close, I hear your heart beating
Together as one
We're moving on
Together as one
We'll be moving on, on, on, on, on
Together as one
Together as one
Together as one
Together as one
Together as one, one, one, one, one
We're moving on
Children, let me sing
They said
You gotta read between the lines
Where are you going…
It’s too dark outside
Little girl
They said
You can’t live a lie
‘Cause in the end we’ll all meet up again
And it’ll be the same
As it used to be
Who are we fooling?
We’ll never see each other again
Who are we fooling?
We’ll never be together again
Who are we fooling?
We’ll never be the same again
And now that I realize
It was time that passed us by
We said
Maybe it’s just a phase
And the wind will carry it away in the morning
But the wind never came
Falling away
Slipping away
All the way
Falling away
Slipping away
All the way
They said Good – Bye
I said I cried
Running over you
Running over me
Running everyone who's not like me
Now it's up to you
And it's up to me
'Cuase there's no time to fool around this time
This time around
I've turned so brown
This time around
I'm really on the ground
This time around
I've turned so brown
This time around
I'm really on the ground
So this one's for you
So get over me
I've got less things on my mind lately
And I'm not fit for you
And you're not fit for me
I know you've tried but haven't got it quite right
This time around
I've turned so brown
This time around
I'm really on the ground
This time around
I've turned so brown
This time around
I'm really on the ground
And here's to hoping
And here's to you
You look so peaceful inside you
And here's to hoping
And here's to you
You look so peaceful inside you
This time around
I've turned so brown
This time around
I'm really on the ground
This time around
I've turned so brown
This time around
They came from the city
Had to get out for a while
Now they’re sitting on the fields
Watching the wind blow our worries away
And the band’s playing a tune that talks about California
And the sky’s about to cry
There’s a man who came all the way from New Mexico
Who forgot just what he came looking for
He says if we keep searching we’ll find our soul
At the bottom of a tunnel
Then we’re free to run away
Come with me
Come with me
It’s only us out here
And at the end of the day we’ll still be awake
And we’ll dance around the fire
And tell stories of yesterday
Then we’ll walk away into the endless ocean of insanity
And pretend to be OK
Scratching away again
Can't live your life depending on the winning numbers
You've got to pay the rent today
And you're all tapped out
But you can afford to take it easy
'Cause I know where you're going when you need to fly
And I know where you're going when you need to hide
'Cause I'm waiting at the corner just waiting for a sign
Let me in, let me in
Just one more time
This time I'm going to show you
I'm going to make it right
Cut me a little rope here
And let me sleep through one whole night
'Cause I'm your winning number
Yeah I'm you winning number
'Cause I'm waiting at the corner just waiting for a sign
Let me in, let me in
Just one more time
This time I'm going to show you
I'm going to make it right
Cut me a little rope here
And let me sleep through one whole night
'Cause I'm your winning number
'Cause I'm your winning number
Before you go
There are some things I should tell you
And prepare you for what you might not have seen
In the dreams you’ve had about this crazy world
We’re living in
Stay out of trouble
Keep your eyes wide open
For a different scene
And who you might meet
Love the road you’re traveling on
And believe not
That everything is clear when it’s all gone
And if there’s one thing
You’re sure you want to leave behind
Let it not be the memory
Of you and me
And if there’s one thing
You’re sure about
Let it be the time
You spent with me
Take it slow
Something might come and lift you from your feet
And if you think you know
Then it’s time to let life show you
A little bit more
Was this the road you were looking for
And have you finally seen it all
The crowded streets
The looser streaks
And an empty soul
With no show
So you got a new car
Your music’s blasting through the speakers
You won the lottery today
So go you say it’ll change
Your life forever
You despise everyone
Who is not like you
You say that’s the only way
To survive these days
You quit smoking
‘Cause you said if you smoke you die
And became a vegetarian the very next day
Think that’s all that’s gonna take to make all for the past
What you’re gonna do with all the money?
And how you’re gonna sleep at nights?
And where you’re gonna go in the morning?
When you’re gonna realize this isn’t what you want?
So you just drove to the park
Walk in the dark
And remember how you used to be
Just you and the city
Where everything’s real
Where the mailman knows who you are
And there’s always a place to go when you need to cry
Just in case you don’t have enough reasons to go crazy
What you’re gonna do with all the money?
And how you’re gonna sleep at nights?
And where you’re gonna go in the morning?
When you’re gonna realize this isn’t what you want?
You say that’s a perfect life
I don’t want it
You say that’s a perfect life
I don’t want it
I don’t want it
Between the lines I get it
I read it when you spoke to me last night
Don’t think I don’t know what’s going on here
And be sure I didn’t come to steal your life
You leave before midnight,
you’re standing in the bright lights
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid to come back to me
You leave before midnight
Standing in the back light
Don’t be afraid
Don’t be afraid to come back to me
And in disguise I will come to you
And darlin’ tonight
You will walk outside your soul
Don’t be surprised if I told you
You’re not as strong as you were told
‘Cause no one’s going to know
If you stay or if you go
If you do or if you don’t
At least you won’t be alone
Won’t be alone,
‘Cause no one’s going to know
If you stay or if you go
If you do or if you don’t
At least you won’t be alone
There’s a constant cry in the park
Baby lost his blue eyes in the dark
He’d been working all night long
Behind the desperate lies
He sleeps like a rock
And awakes with the sun
To freeze the color of the angel
That watches over his shoulder
Hide away. Shy away
To keep you from the cool wind
It’ll help you crawl through confusion
Make you break away
And if this ain’t enough
You’re going to drown your head in misery
And it’s all a blurry memory
And if this ain’t enough
You’re going to drown your head in cheap whiskey
And it’s all a blurry memory
There’s a constant cry in the park
Baby lost his blue eyes in the dark
He’d been working all night long
I grew a conscience in a pot
And I could promise but it's all talk
Fell off this damn roof
And hit my head on a stone thruth
And baby you passed me by too
I made myself invisible
I made myself invisible
I'll eat it's stale
But won't buy if it's not on sale
I'm way too fragile
Like a broken nail
I lived on a shelf
And I talked to myself
I forget all that I felt
I made myself invisible
I made myself invisible
I made myself invisible
They came from the city
Had to get out for a while
Now they're sitting on the fields
Watching the wind blow our worries away
And the band's playing a tune that talks about California
And the sky's about to cry
There's a man who came all way from New Mexico
Who forgot just what he came looking for
He says if we keep searching we'll find our soul
At the bottom of a tunnel
Then we're free to run away
[Chorus:]
Come with me, come with me
Come with me, come with me
It's only us out here
And at the end of the day we'll still be awake
And we'll dance around the fire
And tell stories of yesterday
Then we'll walk away into the endless ocean of insanity
And pretend to be ok
It's not me anyway
[Chorus x2]
This Fool's Life
I don't know where we're going but I'll follow you until I get there,
you know I will. 'Cause I have no way of knowing which direction it
is going, but it shows.
And it's a good thing I brought my eyes to see it happen. And it's a
good thing
I brought my eyes to see the world turn.
It only happens once in this fool's life.
And I can be it
if I can see it
in the clouds.
And I can't be it
if I can't see it
in the crowd.
I can feel the earth below me start to tremble before me, my heart's
beatind, I must be dreaming. 'Cause I have no way of knowing which direction it
is going, but it shows.
And it's a good thing I brought my eyes to see it happen. And it's a
good thing
I brought my eyes to see the world turn.
It only happens once in this fool's life.
And I can be it
if I can see it
in the clouds.
And I can't be it
if I can't see it
The Big Time
I'm taking you out, show you the big time, baby. I'm
working it out, so you can come with me maybe.
Show you what we do when I'm not at home with you.
So you can truly see what t's like to be me.
Are you ready for the time of your life?
I am ready to have you by my side.
We'll travel around, show you the worls, baby.
We'll walk all around and see what we find there,
maybe.
'Cause this is what we see when you're not right
here with me. So you can truly be what you want
when you're with me.
Are you ready for the time of your life?
Sweet Little You
I'm gonna fly in my big blue air balloon and if you smile I'll know
you like it too. You know you do, you know you do, sweet little you.
It's fun to watch them all trying to get along, but I'd much rather
stay up here
and sing this song. Oh with you, oh with you, sweet little you.
Of all the people I've met in my life,
I love you the most.
Of all the people I've met in my life,
I love you the most.
Gonna fly in my big blue air balloon and if you smile I'll know you
like it too. You know you do, you know you do, sweet little you.
It's fun to watch them all trying to get along, but I'd much rather
stay up here
and sing this song. Oh with you, oh with you, sweet little you.
Of all the people I've met in my life,
I love you the most.
Of all the people I've met in my life,
And all I recall
is your face in the cold
And the tear in your eye
cuts like a knife.
Oh and I'm not prepared
for the stone in my shoe.
And I'm not sure
if I can get over you.
Nobody knows
the way the wind blows,
give me some time, don't go.
And bring back the time,
and hold the line,
'cause I'm all alone
Oh no...
And so be gentle
as you let go of me.
'Cause baby, I miss you;
believe me, I can't breathe.
Oh and I'm not prepared
for the stone in my shoe.
And I'm not sure
if I can get over you.
Nobody knows
the way the wind blows,
give me some time, don't go.
And bring back the time,
and hold the line,
'cause I'm all alone
Oh no... (x2)
And all I recall
is your face in the cold.
And the tear in your eye
cuts like a knife.
Oh, and I'm not prepared
for the stone in my shoe.
And I'm not sure
if I can get over you.
Nobody knows
the way the wind blows,
give me some time,
don't go.
And bring back the time,
and hold the line,
'cause I'm all alone
Don't you worry love is on the way
As we lay we'll rock the night away
I know you miss me and I've been missing you. Before you
know it, I'll be right there next to you. No matter the distance
You're still in my heart. Baby I'm with you even thought we're
far apart so don't worry.
Chorus: Don't you worry love is on the way (I really miss you)
As we lay we'll rock the night away (Things just aint the time and place)
I'm never too busy when it comes to loving you. I'm gonna be
there cause I have plans for me and you.
Hide away in a secret place the two of us alone again
A special place where all our love begins (So don't you worry)
Chorus:
Hide away (I'll be lonely babe, hide away late at night babe)
A special place where all our love begins (That's where our love
begins, that's where our love begins)
Chorus
I'll make you believe
that you're here for me.
I'll make you want to be
every single inch of me.
'Cause I got something you don't
and you'll do whatever it takes.
And you'll never abort
this mission you never paid.
Took you on a tour
but you never undestood.
I showed you what I do
but you said you never could.
'Cause I got something you don't
and you'll do whatever it takes.
And you'll never abort
this mission you never paid.
So take what you need.
Say what you please.
Make me believe,
you got what I need.
You just don't see.
So just fall asleep.
Whatever you dream,
you can blame it on me.
I'll make you believe
that you're here for me.
I'll make you want to be
every single inch of me.
'Cause I got something you don't
and you'll do whatever it takes.
And you'll never abort
this mission you never paid.
So take what you need.
Say what you please.
Make me believe,
you got what I need.
You just don't see.
So just fall asleep.
Whatever you dream,
London Express
London Express, made a bad mess.
Took someone home, found a dress.
On the coffee table, your keys and your mail...
Party's gone on for too long
and everyone you need is gone.
And watching you go on,
when everything you did was wrong.
But all works out somhow; lonely train, take me home. Just keep
moving on.
Ain't something watching you blow it when you had it all? Tell me
something, do you cry when you're alone?
But all works out somhow; lonely train, take me home. Just keep
moving on.
Just keep moving on,
just keep moving on,
Like Me
I try to keep myself busy if only the world would stop avoiding me.
They try to keep me all dizzy
so I can't stay on my feet-
And meanwhile I think I'm so damn pretty and they got some news for
me. 'Cause they like to be the ones to show me; it ain't that hard to
destroy me.
So what's cooking in your eyes? Can you tell me?
Do you believe in me? And look into my eyes when you judge me, get to
know me, before you throw me.
The word out n the streets is that you fool me
and you school me, 'cause you give up on me. But you can all go quickly
if you can't catch me. Yeah, you can all go quickly if you can't catch
me, 'cause you give up on me.
And don't everybody want to be like you? You get to wear brand new
suit. 'Cause nobody wants to be like me, dropout of society. And the
difference between you and me is that I sleep like a baby.
So what's cooking in your eyes? Can you tell me?
Do you believe in me? And look into my eyes when you spit on me. Get
to know me, before you throw me. The word out on the streets is that you
fool me
and you school me, 'cause you give up on me. But you can all go quickly
if you can't catch me. But you can all go quickly if you can't catch me,
Glow
Baby says I get out of line. Got to keep
me fighting for my life. I sleep with
one eye open, can't keep what I owe, man.
And all this time I've been out of my
mind. Things got out of hand; you're not
coming back.
And I want to know where you're gonna
And I want to go where you're gonna go.
Why you got to keep me so low? I'm only
trying to make us glow. And it's not easy
when you spend all the dough. You know
we ought to make this two-person show.
And I want to know where you're gonna
And I want to go where you're gonna go.
And I want to go where you're gonna go.
Get Your Blue
Never mind where it all goes; the fame and money, it's all a show. And
you got eaten whole by peers. The air is thin; oh, goodbye tears.
Look no more for what you know. Prepare your bed to feel like home,
so you can sleep and dream your dreams. 'Cause you can be whatever
you please.
You ain't living life for nothing. And when you realize, you're still
worth something.
Oh, you get your blue. You look so new; you know you do, you get your
blue.
Smell the sweetness on your nose. And where it's at, nobody knows. Keep
your eyes on the road, turn headlights t the snow.
You ain't living life for nothing. And when you realize, you're still
worth something.
Oh, you get your blue. You look so new; you know you do, you get your
blue.
You've got to love somebody, you've got to love somebody, somebody
like me.
You gt to hold somebody, you got to hold somebody,
somebody like me.
Someday I Will Be
Don't tell me this is how you dream me and
don't forget the good things I have done. Don't
let me be misunderstood, tonight I might not
say a word but tomorrow with the sun.
So you can truly see how sorry I can be...
You gave your life for me. Did everything to
save me. You gave me eyes to see. And it's ok,
mommy;
'cause someday I will be.
Sometimes I think of things you tell me, that
I should keep my head above the sky. I just
thought I'd turn away 'cause after all you've
given me,
I've been so hard to love.
And you were right, so right...
Don't tell me this is how you dream me and
Devil In Me
I don't know how we got here, but I'd do it all over again in a blink of
an eye. I'd like to make you some cofee in the morning, pretend
someday I'll be a real housewife.
I'm not good at explaining myself, I just found myself as well. And
now you know what color my heart is and whose side I'm really on.
Please lend a hand, please make a stand.
Please lend a hand, please don't be sad.
You caught me lying by the devil in me.
And I was a poet before I came to this place.
I know I hurt you, I'm sorry for giving you heart a brand new
scar. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a brand new
start.
This is a short road leading to the real me, you're brave if you decide
to walk it. We'll listen to John sing "Oh Yoko" and remember the places
Be Free
You think you have the secret information
but you never sent the magic invitation.
You think every little thing you see
is just as plain and simple as it seems
You fell out of line, you see no crime.
And it don't seem to come to your attention.
I'm sick of all your prying and suspicion,
you're always looking for an explanation
but now it's time you got your education.
And I, I will be free,
I, I will be free.
I have arranged for your accomodation,
give you a pretty room with a view.
So take your lies and your imagination
off to have a beautiful vacation.
'Cause you fell out of line, you see no crime.
And it don't seem to come to your attention.
I'm sick of all your prying and suspicion,
you're always looking for an explanation
but now it's time you got your education.
And I, I will be free,
you don't bother me.
I, I will be free,
you don't bother me.
I, I will be free,
you don't bother me.
After all is said and done
Now our life has just begun
And I'ma promise to
Always make your dreams come true
Because you mean so much to me
So what I'm gonna do is do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Now we're on the road
Carrying that heavy load
Problems there to ignore
That's one thing we can't afford
Because we cannot live a lie
So what I'm gonna do is do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Put you first I always do
And you know that to be true
Now that I've committed to
Spending my whole life with you
Don't you know it makes me feel alive
Girl, you make it easy to do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
Do right by you
And I promise to love and cherish you every day
And involve you in all decisions that I make
Win or lose whatever happens, we'll get through
So what I'm trying to say is that I will find a way to'¦
I wonder if I've lost it
And I wonder how
I've been here all day
But this feeling won't fade
Last time I saw you
I got all choked up
And I forget you never cry
But I think this time you might
Cause you owe me more than you will ever know
And I was just thinking it's time to let go
Cause I don't want you in
Something you can't begin to understand
No I don't want you in
Something you can't begin to understand
So I lie on my bed
And I dim the lights
You know I'd rather be out instead
I wish I had somewhere to be
I liked you more when you liked me
Was that too much to ask
You got too good at lying to me
Did you think that I'd be happy
Cause you owe me more than you will ever know
And I was just thinking it's time to let go
Cause I don't want you in
Something you can't begin to understand
No I don't want you in
Something you can't begin to understand
No I don't
Don't want you in
Can you see when you're blind?
Bend and incline
Fall face first when you realiize your crime
You're so fine
Stained carpet with my red wine
Passed out like old times
I had a dream I was just dine
I read your letters and calculated
Just how long had it been
Since my last hit
Since my last letdown
Since my last sting
Since my last sting
I sleeo with my boots on
And bathe in my jeans
And I'm a cheap date
By all means
Comets and black moons
Live in my room
And I fake my deception
And I had a dream I was just fine
I read your letters and calculated
Just how long had it been
Since my last hit
Since my last letdown
Since my last sting
Street Child
We are the little ones who roam the underbelly
Of the streets that normal people walk
Wrong side of the tracks, the deep end of the ocean
The color of the gypsies in the shadow night
Darkness inside out seeps into your veins
Listen to the rain
The only thing keeping you alive
Is the gracious night
(Coro:)
Let me go, let me sleep until forever
Let me close my eyes and hide until the never
Let me go, let me slip into the sky
And tiptoe into madness in a hollow cry
'Cause no one ever told me I committed any crime
And no one ever told me how I went blind
And all I ever wanted was a free mind
A guiltless conscience and a place where I could fly
I threw my cards out on the table
And I put my neck out on the line
I took the verdict I was handed
And now I've served my time
(Coro) (x2)
![Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States. Adults are large and capable of delivering a painful and potentially fatal bite.[citation needed] This is the world's only semi-aquatic viper, usually found in or near water, particularly in slow-moving and shallow lakes and streams. The snake is a strong swimmer and will even enter the sea, successfully colonizing islands off both the Atlantic and Gulf coasts. The common names for the species include variants on water, swamp or black 'moccasin', 'viper', 'cottonmouth', and 'rattler'.[2] Many of the common names refer to the threat display, where this species will often stand its ground and gape at an intruder, exposing the white lining of its mouth. The diet consists mainly of fish and frogs, but is otherwise highly varied and, uniquely, has even been reported to include carrion. The specific name is derived from the Latin words piscis and voro, which mean "fish" and "to eat".[3] Three subspecies are currently recognized, including the nominate subspecies described here.[4]](http://web.archive.org./web/20140702122648im_/http://cdn3.wn.com/ph/img/79/9f/04a8b026c803c72c76d158573e01-small.jpg "Agkistrodon piscivorus is a venomous snake, a species of pit viper, found in the eastern United States.
