Amazing tune, but weird lyrics... I'm not really sure what the verses mean. I think the chorus could have something to do with fans at gigs waving their arms around to 'cast a shadow of a snake pit on the wall', but I'm not sure. Along with 'Cornerstone' this is the best track on the album for me.

I rekon the pretty visitors are aposing members or singular represnatives of some gang orjust generally a hard guy , the pretty visitors wave thier arms ...start a fight ? .... the punches thrown cast shadows of snake pits on the walls ....... asif it was down the back of an alleyway
