Snake Bit - Charming Disaster

Snake bit, you went down into the dark black pit

In my elbow’s inner hollow, snake bit

Without you life was just a black pit

You should have never tried to follow

I set out with my telecaster

To charm the bouncer at the pearly gates

I was trying to avert disaster

It was already too late

When they called me in to grant your favor

I was starting to accept my fate

You stood there like some kind of savior

It should have been a piece of cake

Snake bit

Snake bit

Snake bit

You wept, for a chance to bring me back from death

I never learned to let go, I wept

You sang into that black pit of death

And hell, it opened like a red rose

I heard my favorite song

Blood flowed from my fingers

To make a path to guide you on

But you should have let me linger

Since you left me, I’ve been haunted

Yeah I shuffled off that mortal chain

You never asked me what I really wanted

You left me in a world of pain

Snake bit

Snake bit

Snake bit

Gods take pity on me

Let me strike a devil’s bargain

I’ll do anything to

Bring her back outside your garden

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all, I’d give it up

I’d give it all

Snake bit, you went down into that dark black pit

And I brought you out behind me

Came to rescue though I never asked it

Why didn’t you remind me?

There was only one condition

No looking back to see your face

You could have been an apparition

You had to take it all on faith

Did you think you could just waltz in here

And carry me away?

I made you turn back at the final moment

You were calling out my name

Face it, you were left alone when death hit

I sang all night over your body, wasted

What’s a song if no one’s there who hears it?

I needed you beside me

Snake bit

Snake bit
