LYRICS=
I was hanging in a garden.
up in a tree...
and... I was looking to inform
and trying to keep warm
a cute little couple
named Adam and Eve
I was curling my neck...
real sinuous and slow...
lying in the cool
cause......
I had nowhere to go.
and I haven’t had no business
in a long... long... time..
I’m the serpent baby
yeah...
You know who I mean,
I’m as cold as death.
As warm as breath.
I am the living truth.
You are watching me undress...
I am sharper than the howling wind
that’s cutting emptiness...
They say that I’m a liar,
but... I always tell the truth.
I’m the dancing twist of opposites,
with poison in my tooth.
Look out! I might bite you...
then... the fire hits your brain,
and you dance the dance of madness,
and you’ll never be the same.
If you’re evil, then I’m evil.
If you’re good, then I’m good.
If you’re doing what you shouldn’t,
or you’re doing what you should
There are two sides to everything
and I’m on every side.
You shouldn’t follow after me.
I’m not the place to hide.
I’m the serpent baby
yeah...
You know who I mean,
I’m as cold as death.
As warm as breath.
I am the living truth.
You are watching me undress...
I am sharper than the howling wind
that’s cutting emptiness...
I’m the bad guy and the good guy,
and I always get the blame.
They say the devil made them do it,
but... they did it all the same.
I’m the double-backed persuasion;
carnal love that can’t be free,
of the need to catch my shadow.
Why are you in here with me?
I’m the serpent baby
yeah...
You know who I mean,
I’m as cold as death.
As warm as breath.
I am the living truth.
You are watching me undress...
I am sharper than the howling wind
that’s cutting emptiness...
and I haven’t had no business
in a long... long... time.
No... I haven’t had no business
in a long... long... time.
Yeah... I’ve been doing...
and not doing.
I am, and I am not
I’m what you have,
and have not got.
I’m a serpent of Zen.
I’m the where and the when,
and I really need to know
if you......
want to see that again,
cause I haven’t had no business
in a long... long... time...
in a New York Minute
between when the light turns green
and someone hits their horn
Some people will have died
and some will have been born
and I’ll still be in business for a long... long... time
I hope you don’t mind
I’m an acquired taste,
so... don’t let it go to waste
I’ll still be in business when you make up your mind.
Yes... I’ll still be in business when you make up your mind.
I’m the serpent, baby.
I’m the serpent, baby.
