Flanked by Snakes Lyrics


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 because 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

The 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

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

Cleopatra flanked by snakes

You are Cleopatra flanked by snakes
