This is the house where they used to be lovers,   The real estate agent has closed   He sits with himself in his car for a moment   It’s stuffed with confusion, like its sick with everything he owns      HEY!   Another cold reminder of the heat, my friend   HEY!   Or just a thrown off comment that could knock her off her feet again      HEY!   Well, don't apologize    HEY!   And no compromise   You know that neither one will back down and never will break...      The Mongoose and the Snake      This was dream that they thought they believed in,   This was the prison they chose   Dying inside is a smile's anaconda   Its squeezing them senseless 'til they choked up their black plastic rose      HEY!   Another cold reminder of the heat, my friend   HEY!   Or just a thrown off comment that could knock her off her feet again      HEY!   Well, don't apologize    HEY!   And no compromise   You know that neither one will back down and never will break...      Time rushes by,   Believe me   No ties that bind    Come easy   We’re drowning victims of this agony,    This ecstasy...   You versus me      Time rushes by    And in the    Blink of an eye,   You wither   Rich talk gets followed up by    A straight faced hypocrisy      Up 'til the time he was drunk and he spit in her face...      The Mongoose and the Snake...   The Mongoose and the Snake...   The Mongoose and the Snake...   The Mongoose and the Snake...
