Lost My Groove

I counted three people and a family of snakes They danced in a circle, made the earth beneath shake The light from the moon made the people turn old And the chill of the night turned the snakes into gold   The ground opened up The stars above moved I lost my groove I lost my groove   I followed a woman with a face that was blank She gave me a handgun and we entered a bank We shot at the ceiling, she screamed at the clerk Nothing seemed natural and I felt like a jerk   The cops started shooting My arms wouldn’t move I lost my groove I lost my groove   I sat on a highway with a bass drum and snare The cars passed right through me like I was thin air The beat I was playing seemed wrong and obscure A man stopped me and asked if I was on tour   I said I had nothing I wanted to prove I lost my groove I lost my groove I lost my groove I lost my groove
