- LYRICS
- 1.
- Too dangerous to keep
- Too feeble to let go
- And you want to bite the hand
- Shoulda stopped this long ago
-
- Chours
- Go now, you've been set free
- Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
- With your lovely smile
- I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
- Your flickering tounge and your rattling scales
- Like a real reptile
-
- 2.
- Had you coiled around my arm
- How could you ever know
- How I loved your diamond eyes
- But that was long ago
-
- Chorus
-
- Solo
-
- 3.
- And I should have believed Eve
- She said we had to blow
- She was the apple of my eye
- It wasn't long ago
-
- Chorus
