Little Snake

[Verse 1]
I have a little snake all twisted up inside, everybody wants to see her shed her skin
Her tiny tongue and fangs seek out what’s been long denied
And if you try to kill her, she’ll just be born again
I have a little snake all twisted up inside, crawling under rocks and striking here and there
Stretch her jaws and swallow, she will be satisfied
Cold-blooded and strong-bodied, a reptile doesn’t care

[Chorus]
Mama, oh Mama, how do I get out?
A terror like this one will make me scream and shout
Don’t leave me, Father, how will I make it right?
Numb the pleasure center and torture me all night
Numb the pleasure center and torture me all night

[Verse 2]
Took my love to the hospital and laid him on the floor
In the back of a cold room I made him beg for more
Morning comes for everyone and I awoke in shame
Sparkling eyes still hypnotise, but I forgot his name
I have a little snake all twisted up inside
Next to a cactus heart and ragged wildflower
She never shows her face, although she never lies
In a world like this, my snake’s my only power

[Chorus]
Mama, oh Mama, how do I get out?
A terror like this one will make me scream and shout
Don’t leave me, Father, how will I make it right?
Numb the pleasure center and torture me all night
Numb the pleasure center and torture me all night
