Flanked By Snakes

Here you go again
You give your soul away
It sure tastes sweet in the dead of night
You know you won't go far
The blizzard upon you, lavish and trite

You want it bad 'cause it feels so good
All for yourself, it's understood
Moons ago in Hollywood
Taught you how to cure your aches
Cleopatra flanked by snakes

You like the way it smells
It makes you feel alright
Who are you, some Apophis in white?
You know you won't go far
Blizzard upon you
And teeth clenched too tight

You want it bad 'cause it feels so good
All for yourself, it's understood
Moons ago in Hollywood
Taught you how to cure your aches
Cleopatra flanked by snakes
Cleopatra flanked by snakes

You're morbid, I love you
I fear you and you scare me to death

How it makes you glow like a star
Brings you to your knees so hard
It's a game you just can't win, sister
You know you won't go far
The same old rite
Upon you the blizzard

You want it bad 'cause it feels so good
All for yourself, it's understood
Moons ago in Hollywood
Taught you how to cure your aches
You want it bad 'cause it feels so good
All for yourself, it's understood
Moons ago in Hollywood
Taught you how to cure your aches
Cleopatra flanked by snakes
You are Cleopatra flanked by snakes
