Snake Song He lied when he laid With a down trodden babe He lied, oh, he lied to me He lied when he tripped When he broke, when he ran With the shirt on his back and the money in his hand He went down on his belly And he slithered 'round the floor Should've known better Always done it before And he laughed Always do it some more He lied when he kissed a poor, lonely miss He lied, oh, he lied to me He lied when he kicked When he broke with a shout Then he took me by the hand and he dragged me all about He went down on his belly And he slithered like a creep Through the alleys and the gutters Down the cold, hard streets He said I should've known better Said I, yes, I, oh, I should've known He lied from the start when he stole my heart He lied, oh, he lied to me He lied when he switched When he broke with his teeth Then he brought this fruit and he laid it at my feet He went down on his belly And he slithered up a tree He wiggled and he hissed When he kissed my cheek He said I should've known better What a feral beast
