Snake Hill

[Verse 1] I was born on Snake Hill And that's where I'll probably die Because I don't like to kill But I've got poison in my bite Well, I feel safe to say That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill [Verse 2] My mother told me, "Son You got strychnine in your blood It comes from pedigree ancestory" She warned me not to leave Said my concience was too deep That when I bite It would hurt mostly me [Verse 3] For many many years I stayed up on that hill Occasionaly I'd go down to the edge Just to see what I could see So curiosity got the best of me [Chorus] Well, it's a big world and it's not fair to me To stay up there when there's so much to see I want to play with others that I need to meet Poison will be poison till it's through [Verse 4] Soon I hit the world I discovered that a girl Was what my mother tried to hide from me She could make you feel alive She could make you want to die And that's exactly what she did to me [Verse 5] And it was only self defense But I coiled up and I bit I let my venom run into her veins And I sat and watched her die To me Then I realized I was born on Snake Hill And that's where I'll probably die Because I don't like to kill But I've got poison in my bite Well, I feel safe to say That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill [Chorus] And it's a big world and it's not fair to me To have to stay when there's so much to see I want to play with others that I need to meet And poison will be poison till it's through Poison will be poison till it's through Poison will be poison till it's through Poison will be poison till it's through
