Reptile

Too dangerous to keep
Too feeble to let go
And you want to bite the hand
Should have stopped this long ago

Go, go now, you've been set free
Another mother saw you beguiling me
With your loveless smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rotten scales
Like a real reptile

Had you coiled around my arm
How could you ever know
How I loved your diamond eyes?
But that was long ago

Go, go now, you've been set free
Another mother saw you beguiling me
With your loveless smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rotten scales
Like a real reptile

And I should have believed it
When you said we had to go
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long ago

Go, go now, you've been set free
Another mother saw you beguiling me
With your loveless smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rotten scales
Like a real reptile
Go, go now, you've been set free
Another mother saw you beguiling me
With your loveless smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and your rotten scales
Like a real reptile
