Do the best things come first I was in two minds
|
So I tried my luck in the garden of dusk where the wise snake presides
|
How was I to know I’d be badly advised
|
Before I fell from the blistering sky with eyes opened wide
|
|
"so" said the snake, "what brings you to me"
|
He sizzled about lust and the small fare he'd charge as a favour to me
|
So warm was his breath but so cooling his skin
|
That I forgot every warning I got, my resistance grew thin
|
And he said, "soon, baby, soon, baby"
|
|
|
I guess you wonder
|
I guess you wonder
|
|
The best things come first, where was my mind
|
I should have known that a snake on a throne is bound to beguile
|
|
I guess you wonder
|
I guess you wonder
|
|
And the instant you left I knew what not to decide
|
And the instant you left I knew what not to decide
|
Lost my innocence due to my otherwise much revered pride
|
How stupid I was to rely on the snake's advice
