Crawling King Snake Lyrics

Well, I'm the crawlin' king snake
And I rule my den
I'm the crawlin' king snake
And I rule my den
Yeah, don't mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself

Caught me crawlin', baby, window
Grass is very high
Keep on crawlin' 'til the day I die
Crawlin' king snake
And I rule my den
You better give me what I want
Gonna crawl no more

Caught me crawlin', baby
Crawlin' 'round your door
Seein' everything I want
I'm gonna crawl on your floor
Let's crawl
And I rule my den
Come on, give me what I want
Ain't gonna crawl no more

I have crawled a while

Come on, crawl
Come on, crawl
Get on out there on your hands and knees, baby
Crawl all over me
Just like the spider on the wall
Ooh, we gon' crawl, one more

Well, I'm the crawlin' king snake
And I rule my den
Call me the crawlin' king snake
And I rule my den
Yeah, don't mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself

What is the Meaning of Crawling King Snake?

In this blues-infused track, The Doors channel the persona of a dominant and possessive character through the metaphor of a "crawlin' king snake." The lyrics convey themes of control and territoriality, as the snake claims absolute rule over its domain and expresses a desire to keep its mate exclusively for itself. This portrayal not only reflects the natural behavior of a king snake, which is known for its assertiveness and dominance over its territory but also mirrors human emotions of jealousy and possessiveness in relationships. #TheDoors #BluesRock
