Reptile

Too dangerous to keep
Too feeble to let go
And you want to bite the hand
Should have stopped this long agoGo now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be gorging on me
Your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptileHad you coiled around my arm
How could you ever know
How I loved your diamond eyes?
But that was long agoGo now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
Your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptileAnd I should have believed Eve
She said we had to blow
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long agoGo now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
Your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptileGo now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be poisoning me
Your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales
Like a real reptile
