Reptile

Too dangerous to keep
Too feeble to let go
And you want to bite the hand
Should have stopped this long ago

Chorus:
Go now, you've been set free
Another month or so you'll be gorging on me [becomes "poisoning me" later]
With your lovely smile
I see you slither away with your skin and your tail
Your flickering tongue and rattling scales
Like a real reptile

Had you coiled around my arm
How could you ever know
How I loved your diamond eyes?
But that was long ago

Chorus

And I should have believed Eve
She said we had to blow
She was the apple of my eye
It wasn't long ago

Chorus
Go!
