The Snake Lyrics - Frank Black And The Catholics

Well, I'm a snake, oh yes I'm very smart 

But I was cruel without a humble start 

And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded 

Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed 

So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way 

A little pessimistic but that's okay 

A pig or a goat well, they wouldn't let you be mistreated 

And so I guess on that note I am not the one you needed 

Oh they call me the snake 

I'm just feeling my way 

Well, I'm a snake, oh yes I'm very smart 

But I was cruel without a humble start 

And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded 

Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed
