Too dangerous to keep

Too feeble to let go

And you want to bite the handShould 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
