Venomous Snake

Bury my head beneath the sand

I could not face the truth

Face to face with something twice the size of me and you

It sweeps us off our feet

Now slither down the street

I’ll show you the view from ground floor, baby

Said that I look thin, but I just shed my skin

Trust me, I’ve been eating just fine lately

Lately I

Lately I can’t close my eyes

I’d fall asleep for a while

But then I just see your smile

And it really bothers me

Though I’m hunting in your garden

You can let your guard down because

Darling you are not the prey

So leave me in the yard then

Just proceed with caution because

I am a venomous snake

I am a venomous snake

Meet me in the garden then

My fangs dry, my conscience clear

Darling are you starving?

Are you even happy here?

Just get me out this hole

Your blood it is so cold

It may be cold but trust me, yours is colder

So leave me on my own,

If snakes, they hunt alone

Don’t lean on me, I don’t have a shoulder

The older that I get

The farther out I swim

Forget how long it’s been

Since my original skin

I left it all the way back there

Though I’m hunting in your garden

You can let your guard down because

Darling you are not the prey

So leave me in the yard then

Just proceed with caution because

I am a venomous snake

I am a venomous snake

I am a, I am a, I am

I am a venomous snake
