Come on, feed the snake with admiration And it’ll be your friend a while But all you’ll get is just frustration When it bites you with a smile It hides inside your boot and waits And when it strikes, it is too late
Feed the snake Oh, feed the snake The greatest feast will never do The sweetest bait will never do Feed the snake…
Come on, treat the snake with revelation And it pretends to feel the same And then it poisons you with disaffection Leaving you to be to blame Small, but full of hate So when it strikes, it is too late
Feed the snake Oh, feed the snake The greatest feast will never do The sweetest bait will never do Feed the snake…
And there is nothing to regret No way for every snake you’ve met And there is nothing to enjoy Until you reach the final point
Feed the snake Oh, feed the snake The greatest feast will never do The sweetest bait will never do Feed the snake, oh yeah, come on!
