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 With 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 round 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 With 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 With 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, oh Go, 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 tongue and your rattling scales Like a real reptile
