[Intro]
The grapes are falling down
The grapes are falling down
The grapes are falling down

[Verse 1]
Please add some sober water
Into heady wine
Don’t turn into a raging storm
This peaceful night
This peaceful night
[Refrain]
Here it comes, the green serpent
It puts you on the path

[Bridge]
How deep is the mud
In this tempting vineyard?
The grapes are falling down
And you pick them one by one
The drunk stepped into the adult life
Lukewarm wine is his blood
It’s not him who drinks from the bottle
It’s the bottle that drinks from him

[Chorus]
It’s starting here
You don’t drink, you absorb it
Eventually you’re swallowed by the mud
Here it comes. The green serpent
It puts you on the path so unsure

[Verse 2]
The serpent gives an umbrella on a sunny day
And takes it back when it rains
It holds so much annihilating power

So it’s turning
Saints into sinners in just one hour

[Chorus]
It’s starting here
You don’t drink, you absorb it
Eventually you’re swallowed by the mud
Here it comes. The green serpent
It puts you on the path so unsure

[Breakdown]
A foe and a friend
Locks you in pirouette
Shame hurts more then headache
Let the green serpent slitter away
Let the green serpent slitter away

[Outro]
The grapes are falling down
The grapes are falling down.
