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
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.
I was at this carnival, just a few years ago
No big deal, ferris wheel, the same ol’ stuff you know
And I wandered around the grounds until I found this little tent
A man outside made a speech, and this is how it went
“she walks, she talks
She crawls on her belly like a reptile”
Well, I’m the Crawling King Snake
And I rule my den
I’m the Crawling King Snake
And I rule my den
Yeah, don’t mess 'round with my mate
Gonna use her for myself
Everybody says "I’m your biggest fan
“I’ve seen your picture in People Magazine”
People come from miles around just to shake my hand
If you don’t believe in the power of a waffle
Let me tell you just what I mean
I can’t make up my mind
Someone has to help me
I never seem to know what to do
I just can’t decide for myself
She has told me in so many words
That she’s still in love with me
And she wants me back
She wants me back with her again
Sometimes I go to her
With all my doubts and all my fears
She says, “Now don’t you be foolish, boy
You know I will always be here”
That’s what she says
She’s still in love
(she’s still in love)
(she’s still in love)
Don’t you remember you told me you loved me baby
You said you’d be coming back this way again baby
Baby, baby, baby, baby, oh, baby, I love you I really do
Girl, don’t let your life get tangled up with mine
Cause I’ll just leave you
I can’t take no clinging vine
Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me
Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me
Cause I’ll just use you
Then I’ll set you free
Baby, baby, don’t get hooked on me
She can kill with a smile, she can wound with her eyes
And she can ruin your faith with her casual lies
And she only reveals what she wants you to see
She hides like a child but she’s always a woman to me
I saw a girl, she reminded me of you
She did the things that a girl like you might do
Her body was green and she had two vicious jaws
She polished her mate as she kissed him with her claws
Yeah but I survived, it was on TV
She had six strong legs and it frightened me
She had insect eyes, but I could still see
That the looks she gave him, you give to me
I wouldn’t if I were you, I know what she can do
She’s deadly, man; she could really rip your world apart
Mind over matter; the beauty is there, but a beast is in her heart
Whoa, here she comes
Watch out, boy, she’ll chew you up
Whoa, here she comes
She’s a maneater
She had an horror of rooms she was tired you can’t hide beat
When I looked in her eyes they were blue but nobody home
She could’ve been a killer if she didn’t walk the way she do, and she do
She opened strange doors that we’d never close again
She began to wail jealousies scream
Waiting at the light know what I mean
Scary monsters, super creeps
Keep me running, running scared
And I wonder, I wa wa wa wa wonder
Why a why why why why why
She ran away
And I wonder where she will stay
My little runaway
My run run run run runaway
I met him on a Monday and my heart stood still
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron
Somebody told me that his name was Bill
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron
Yeah, my heart stood still
Yes, his name was Bill
And when he walked me home
Da doo ron-ron-ron, Da doo ron-ron
