Lyric discussion by mushman 

After listening tto it constantly it's clear that towards the end of the song it is about being killed by a snake. A snake usually kills its prey slow by crushing it's rib cage as shown in the loines "you twist, you turn, wrapping around me" and "ribs break, souls stay bare...". The title suggests thee opposite, if a snake was jaggy it would impale the prey and kill it instantly, defeating its sinster nature. It is strange to see simon write about something so vividley as if it was a personla experience which is impossible. All in All, the song rocks.
