The Snake

(album: Show Me Your Tears - 2003)

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 am not the one you needed

So pretty and so timid, that's a rabbit's way
A little pessimistic, but that's okay
A pig or a goat, well, they wouldn't let you be mistreated
And so I guess on that note, I am not the one you needed

Well, they call me the snake
I'm just feeling my way, uh-huh

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 am not the one you needed

So pretty and so timid, that's a rabbit's way
A little pessimistic, but that's okay
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
