I was born on Snake Hill[00:00:00]
And that's where I'll probably die[00:00:04]
Because I don't like to kill[00:00:08]
But I've got poison in my bite[00:00:12]
Well, I feel safe to say[00:00:17]
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill[00:00:21]
My mother told me,[00:00:32]
"Son, you've got strychnine in your blood[00:00:35]
It comes from pedigree ancestory"[00:00:40]
She warned me not to grieve[00:00:48]
Said my concience was too deep[00:00:52]
That when I bite[00:00:56]
It would hurt mostly me[00:00:58]
For many many years[00:01:04]
I stayed up on that hill[00:01:08]
Occasionaly I'd go down to the edge[00:01:12]
To see what I could see[00:01:19]
So curiousty got the best of me[00:01:23]
Its a big world and it's not fair to me[00:01:31]
To stay up there when there's so much to see[00:01:35]
I want to play with others that I need to meet[00:01:39]
Poison will be poison until it's through[00:01:47]
Soon I hit the world[00:01:55]
I discovered that a girl[00:01:59]
Was what my mother tried to hide from me[00:02:03]
She could make you feel alive[00:02:10]
She could make you want to die[00:02:14]
And that's exactly what she did to me[00:02:18]
And it was only self defense[00:02:26]
And I coiled up and I bit[00:02:30]
I let my venom run into her veins[00:02:34]
And I sat and watched her die[00:02:41]
Then I realized I was born on Snake Hill[00:02:47]
And that's where I'll probably die[00:02:57]
Because I don't like to kill[00:03:01]
But I've got poison in my bite[00:03:05]
Well, I feel safe to say[00:03:09]
That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill[00:03:13]
And it's a big world and it's not fair to me[00:03:21]
To have to stay when there's so much to see[00:03:25]
I want to play with others that I need to meet[00:03:29]
And poison will be poison until it's through[00:03:37]
Poison will be poison until it's through[00:03:44]
Poison will be poison until it's through[00:03:52]
Poison will be poison until it's through[00:04:01]
