Serpentine Pad
--------------
The verse:
A5 power chords, tickling a G5 power chord at the beginning of every
couple measures, and at the beginning of each measure during the
second part of the verse.  Here's the gist with a lame attempt at the lyrics.
A5Frequently called nothin' buts G5  
A5Snorin' when you snap it backG5  
A5EveryoneG5  
A5Knows it's youG5  
A5Why won't yG5ou adA5mit it, scream
E5You
That E5 is:
G--9--
D--9--
A--7--
E-----
Then, the little bridge-riff is:
 A--7----8--7-
And take it all
Verse again, then the chorus, which goes like this:
A5
single-note  A(7th fret on D)  D5  
                          I be-lieve,
          A-note       C5          E5  
that I'll never  leave              your serpentine pad.
(just in case yr wondering, all the chords are barre)
My interpretation of the lyrics:
Frequently called nothin' buts
Snorin' when you snap it back
Everybody, knows it's you, why won't you admit it, scream!
You
And take it all
Corporate integration
From the corporation
I don't need this corporation attitude
Tude tude tude
--Chorus--
I believe,
That I'll never leave
Your serpentine pad
Darlin' when you wake up
Better ask the grown-ups
If they have, hose and twine, leave the man who needed the lice
Think it might
Be another scene, bet
I don't wanna know, but
I don't know, if I should, if I could or if I would, anyway
(serpentine pad)
--Chorus--
End.
