The song Serpent of Dreams is performed by Hot Tuna in the album named Double Dose in the year 1995 .
Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway
Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave
Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows
Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
Down in the mine, circled 'round a diamond
Serpent of your expectations sleeps a nervous dream
Circled so fine like a velvet palace
Whiles away the pa*sing hours, not being what he seems
Then he creeps into the night speeding up like fire flight
How he moves into the forest floor
Send away the pace of time, leave behind the lonely mine
And the diamond silent on the floor
We cannot stay by the crystal mountain
The serpent of dreams has left his shadow lair
The diamond remains brilliant in its cavern
No one to see and no one left to care
The serpent's friends have come and gone
Down the hills, they're movin' on
Through the lakes and forests and the dale
They will find tomorrow's rise
Brings them all the bluest skies
Frees the lonesome banshee and his wail
Flowers today bloomin' by the pathway
Linin' the edge of tomorrow's grave
Bright shinin' way, livin' in the shadows
Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
Tryin' to be the master of tomorrow's slave
