Reptile Songtext

von Tragic Black

Too dangerous to keep.
Too feeble to let go.
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 [becomes "poisoning me" later]
With your lovely smile.
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail,
Your flickering tongue and rattling 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.

And I should have believed Eve.
She said we had to blow.
She was the apple of my eye.
It wasn't long ago.

Go!
