Snake Bite

Verse One

She was showing me poetry knowing me as she did

She was utterly buttery acting just like a kid

It was what it was so I did what I did

Preserve the perseverance let the story begin

She had a tattoo of my name before I met her

I thought – how coincidental could that be

It was one of those days,

I wish that was the excuse and to think that she was thinking of me

I still remember the first time I met her

She caught my heart like a butterfly collector

She was sugar and soap and wrapped in cocaine

And from then things could never ever ever be the same

Verse Two

She was the polka dot the girl in a world of her own

Refused to listen to all the things she'd been shown

She was my one girl caught in my Sunday world

It was the way it was, was the way it was was because - She

held her head up and asked had you forgotten me

I'm still fighting between love and mediocrity

No stopping me

I wondered how long it would last

But you can not predict the future from the past

Chorus:

She was the

Snake bite

She held me close because it felt right

And I was standing in the street light

She said

A pinky promise and all could be forgotten

But the snake snake bite

It wasn't wrong because it felt right

I could have sworn it was the moonlight

I was -

The pinky promise and all had been forgotten

Verse 3

They said that change was as good as a holiday

I forgot to say

This is the same like when your pet dog runs away

They all said I used you as crutch

But the way I see it is like when starsky called hutch

And I never asked much

Just a quick smile and a hug or two

I wasn't saying thankyou and I love you too

I'm saying thankyou for the things I'd sworn I'd never do

So goodbye and farwell to the things we never knew.

Verse One 

I heard that every single cloud had a silver lining

Been a few days and seem to be finding – that

Not much remains of the yesteryear

The time has passed and that's my greatest fear

If every dog has its day then why am I here

I'm sick of running the rat race the crowds and the bad beer

I'm in a world where I wanna stay faceless

Keep your high profile presence I'm on a need to know basis

I remain nameless

And keep my head down and look away

It's kinda funny that I have nothing more to say

So set that cat amongst the pigeons and make sure they learnt it

The story is we'll cross that bridge when we burnt it

Release it from the grips of grievance, I have a plan

I can still remember walking where the old boatshed used to stand

I'm feeling empty and know I'm falling out of range

Theirs is no reason for the season to change

It's like that fear of heights hookers hope and violence

I once knew this girl who was scared of silence

So -  

Reminds us of a time when we were all scared

But that was the day when the world you see it really cared

It was what it was cause it was all we knew

This is the cordial orgy and I've seen it through

Your eyes used to be the window to the soul

But now your myspace profile fills that black hole

In this era I'm not too concerned with dangers

A bottle of red wine, and no ego allows me to sleep with strangers

So call me the square peg in the round hole

Or the dare devil with no soul

The rebel with no goal

Or tremble and go home

And wait for your knight in shining Armani

The reason for the season is you can't harm me

Chorus:

I can whisper so fate won't know

I know this nice place that we an go

It's real quiet where the red wine flow

With lots of people that we dont't know

We won't ever stop

Because, we don't know what the fuck we want x 4

Verse 2:

This is my first attempt at honesty so promise me you won't ask

This is the truth and I've tried hard to remove the mask

I can't remember the last time and it comes as no surprise

I'm still trying to remember your smell and the colour of your eyes

But if we meet again, I promise you I won't look back

And all the disappointment, we'll, we can work on that

But I just want to leave you standing here on your own two feet

You deserve more to make your self feel complete

To give you an explanation and all the things that you deserve

I'd give you everything if I thought that you would have the world

But I can see the piece you think is missing

Even though I'm not there, you need to know I'm listening

I hear your heart ache and all the things that you crave

You deserve it all, you'll get it, have patience and please be brave

 It's a big world so hold tight and punch it back

I wish there was enough time I would have told you that

Maybe wrong time, wrong channel or wrong place

But hear me when I say I miss that smile across your face

But when its gone I hope you ain't forgotten me

So please girl, just consider this my apology.

Chorus:
