Testo Snake song Eleni Mandell

Snake song

He lied when he laid
With a down trodden babe
He lied, oh, he lied to me
He lied when he tripped
When he broke, when he ran
With the shirt on his back and the money in his hand
He went down on his belly
And he slithered 'round the floor
Should've known better
Always done it before
And he laughed
Always do it some more

He lied when he kissed a poor, lonely miss
He lied, oh, he lied to me
He lied when he kicked
When he broke with a shout
Then he took me by the hand and he dragged me all about
He went down on his belly
And he slithered like a creep
Through the alleys and the gutters
Down the cold, hard streets
He said I should've known betterSaid I, yes, I, oh, I should've known

He lied from the start when he stole my heart
He lied, oh, he lied to me
He lied when he switched
When he broke with his teeth
Then he brought this fruit and he laid it at my feet
He went down on his belly
And he slithered up a tree
He wiggled and he hissed
When he kissed my cheek
He said I should've known better
What a feral beast
