(Verse 1)
You got cobra shoes and a neon crown
Sippin' moonlight in a velvet town
Your eyes are wheels spinnin' upside down
Yeah, you’re the queen of the lost & found…

(Verse 2)
You speak in sparks from a busted wire
Set every moment briefly on fire
Your love’s a ghost I still desire
Dressed in shadows and neon attire

(Chorus)
Ohhh, Silver Snake Serenade 🐍
You’re the noise that the shadows made
Dancin' with a razorblade
Silver Snake Serenade!

(Verse 3)
You drink the sun from a diamond cup
And tear the stars delicate up
You move like fire burnin' backwards, love
A gift sent down from the moon above…

(Chorus)
Ohhh, Silver Snake Serenade 🐍
You’re the noise that the shadows made
Dancin' with a razorblade
Silver Snake Serenade!

(Bridge — because even Bolan broke form sometimes)
In a beat-up car made of starlight and chrome
We are infinitely lost but never alone…

(Guitar solo — wailing, fuzzy, two or three bends and plenty of feel)

(Final double-chorus with ad-libs — “Yeah!”, “Serenade!”, “Oh darling!” etc.)
