Lyrics
The Snake
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well, I'm a snake oh yes I'm very smart
But I was cruel without a humble start
And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded
Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed
So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way
A little pessimistic but that's OK
A pig or a goat well, they wouldn't let you be mistreated
So I guess on that note I am not the one you needed
Oh they call me the snake
I'm just feeling my way
Well, I'm a snake oh yes I'm very smart
But I was cruel without a humble start
And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded
Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed
So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way
A little pessimistic but that's OK
A pig or a goat well, they wouldn't let you be mistreated
So I guess on that note I am not the one you needed
