Reptile

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've been gorgin' on me

Your lovely smile

I see you slither away with your skin and your tail

Your flickerin' tongue and your rattlin' 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 flickerin' tongue and your rattlin' scales

Like a real reptile

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 flickerin' tongue and your rattlin' scales

Like a real reptile

Oh, go, 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 flickerin' tongue and your rattlin' scale

Like a real reptile
