Lyrics
Old hollow eyes, got no ties
Walking by the light of the moon
Hey, shiny boots with strings and flutes
Rising like a crazy balloon
Close your door
He's on the loose
Here he comes
No hope for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Snake charmer
He'll harm ya
Say, hey, mystery man what's your plan?
Got to tell the world to beware, you don't care
He'll hypnotise and tell you lies
He's hiding at the top of the stairs
Close your door
He's on the loose
I see him coming out
There's no hope for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Snake charmer, snake charmer
Look out
Hey, fancy face, got no place
Livin' from a hole in the ground
Old sparkle eyes, he never cries
One step ahead of the hounds
Close your door
He's on his way
He's coming out of the shadows now, now
No hope for you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Snake charmer, snake charmer
Now, listen here
Hey, hollow eyes, got no ties
Oh, shiny boots play your strings and flutes
Mystery man, what's your plan?
A strange of face, got no place
Snake charmer
He'll harm ya
Old sparkle eyes, got no ties
Ooh, shiny boots
Close your door
He's on the loose
Snake charmer
My mystery man, what's your plan?
I've got to tell the world to beware, you don't care
He'll hypnotise, tell you lies
