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