The Church - Reptile

She was the apple of my eye.

Had you coiled around my arm.

Like a real reptile.

Too feeble to let go.

With your lovely smile.

Too dangerous to keep.

And you want to bite the hand.

Should have stopped this long ago.

Go now, you've been set free.

Another month or so you'll be gorging on me

With your lovely smile.

I see you slither away with your skin and your tail

Your flickering tongue and your rattling scales

How could you ever know

How I loved your diamond eyes?

But that was long ago.

Go now, you've been set free.

Another month or so you'll be poisoning me

With 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.

And I should have believed Eve.

She said we had to blow.

It wasn't long ago.
