LYRICS
The serpent slipped
The serpent slid
Hard to believe… what the serpent did
No matter how miraculous
It was to all of us
We just couldn’t take
Faking with a snake
We would have been fine
If he had a spine
‘stead we raised a fuss
’cause he’s not one of us
No matter how marvelous
… tossed under the bus
We just couldn’t fake
That we could take a snake
A man that speaks with forked tongue
Days are numbered to being young
Speaking from both sides it’s said
Will likely wind you up dead
