Good evening, ladies and gentlemen I have a story to tell you, of one's slow decline When a girl yanked on the strings to break this man's heart
Oh lord I think I deserve a little better than this I think I've earned it So I'll just keep humming this song and hope you follow
Turn me over, roll me 'round To find the truth that I don't want found Oh, don't believe everything you hear I'm the snake waiting for you, dear And eventually you'll come to me I know you will
Oh, I know you will
You're lipstick crazy, I'll make my pass The drink turns over, the glass smashed And with a kindness and my smarts I replaced your pleasure With a friend at the bottom
Turn me over, roll me 'round To find the truth that I don't want found Oh, don't believe everything you hear I'm the snake waiting for you, dear And eventually you'll come to me I know you will
Oh, it's my fate to be your biggest mistake Oh, I tell you all you want to hear until you sleep I know you will
Oh, goodnight Oh, goodnight, fair lady
Oh, turn me over, roll me 'round To find the truth that I don't want found Oh, don't believe everything you hear I'm the snake waiting for you, dear And eventually you'll come to me And eventually you'll come to me
Oh, we can agree to disagree Well maybe that was you, then, and now this is me Eventually you'll come to me, baby I know you wil
