Do the best things come first I was in two minds So I tried my luck in the garden of dusk where the wise snake presides How was I to know IТd be badly advised Before I fell from the blistering sky with eyes opened wide
"so," said the snake, "what brings you to me" He sizzled about lust and the small fare he'd charge as a favour to me So warm was his breath but so cooling his skin That I forgot every warning I got, my resistance grew thin And he said, "soon, baby, soon, baby"
I guess you wonder I guess you wonder
The best things come first, where was my mind I should have known that a snake on a throne is bound to beguile
I guess you wonder I guess you wonder
And the instant you left I knew what not to decide And the instant you left I knew what not to decide Lost my innocence due to my otherwise much revered pride How stupid I was to rely on the snake's advice
