Snake Charmer

(album: Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - 1975)

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
Umm, here he comes
No hope for you, ooh
Snake charmer, we'll haunt you

So, hey mystery man
What's your plan
I've got to tell the world
To beware you don't care

He'll hypnotize you
And tell you lies
He's hiding at the top of the stairs

Close your door
He's on the move
I see him coming out
There's no hope for you, ooh
Snake charmer
Snake charmer
Get out!

Hey fancy face
Got no place
Living 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
Snake charmer
Snake charmer, now listen to me yeah

Hey hollow eyes
Got no ties
Oh shiny boots
Play your strings and flutes

Mystery man what's your plan
Fancy face, got no place
Snake charmer
He'll harm yer

Oh sparkle eyes
Got no ties
Oh 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
Hypnotized
