I heard about the venom I'd have broke down the finer lines The rain cried down the window Just like those tears of mine
Just then a gray haired woman Sat down right next to me She heard me cry and looked in my eye And said, "Baby, I got what you need"
You need a snakebite And once you get that venom in your veins They'll come alive I know just what you go through every day That pain inside, I can make it right With the snakebite
She handed me a map with streets I said, "I've never seen" And she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets Darker than you could ever dream"
I went to some back alley Behind the liquor store If someone had told me how tight it would hold me I never would have open the door
I got the snakebite And once I had that venom in my veins I came alive Oh, you don't know what I go through everyday The pain inside, I'm gonna make it right [ Audra Mae Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ] With the snakebite
My momma told me Baby, be wary of evil ones Who want to ensnare the heavy heartache Into their webs and feed upon their souls Oh momma, I hope you never know
It has been a year now And all my hair is gray You know, it's funny But I don't remember my own name
I'll go and hurt that woman Who put this pain in me But my heart is weak, it wants that venom She comes around 'cause she knows I need
The snakebite Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins To feel alive Oh, you don't know what I go through every day This pain inside, I'm gonna make it right With the snakebite
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins I come alive Oh, you don't know what I go through every day This pain inside, I'm gonna make it right With the snakebite Oh, I got the snakebite
