The Mongoose and the Snake - Cherry Poppin' Daddies

This is the house where they used to be lovers

The real estate agent has closed

He sits with himself in his car for a moment

It’s stuffed with confusion like it’s sick with everything he owns

Another cold reminder of the heat my friend

Or just a thrown-off comment that could knock her off her feet again

Don’t apologize and why compromise

You know that neither one will back down and never will break

The Mongoose and the Snake

This was dream that they thought they believed in

This was the prison they chose

Dying inside is a smile’s anaconda

It’s squeezing them senseless till they choked up their black plastic rose

Time rushes by believe me

No ties that bind come easy

We’re drowning victims of this agony, this ecstasy

You versus me

Time rushes by and in the

Blink of an eye you wither

Rich talk gets followed up by

A straight faced hypocrisy

Up till the time he was drunk and he spit in her face
