Watch the Snake

Unsuspecting you are, an

Innocent soul you have always been

my wee baby blue

You used to be there for me and

I'll hold your hand still too

 

Like a child your mind wanders

In the sun and mud between your toes

grubs and worms to play

Watch out for the snake in the grass

It slowly creeps, it will bite you one day

 

Sunken in teeth, so fast

The venom fills your blood

like so many others before

An addiction now you crave so badly

Once it leaves you for something more
