Snake Song Songtext
von Charlie Musselwhite

Well, you can′t hold me, I'm too slippery
Don′t think I'm sleepin' or feelin′ lonely
Well, you can touch me if you need to
But I got poison, just could bite you

Lie around, ′round in the sunlight
Shine like diamonds (I shine like diamonds) on a dark night
Ain't no mercy (no mercy) in my smiling
Only fangs (only fangs) and sweet beguiling


Now the future (now the future), he can′t find me (he can't find me)
Skins I′ve been through die behind me (die behind me)
Sleep with dreams of (dreams of) those I've tasted
And not a drop of (not a drop) venom wasted

Well, you might slip in (might slip in)
Try to find me (try to find me)
Hold your breath and (hold your breath), try and bind me (try and bind me)
Makes no difference (what you said) in my thinkin′
I'll still be here when you start drinkin'
