Do 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
Ooooooh
"Sso" said the Snake
"What bringsss you to me?"
He sizzled 'bout "lusst"
And the "ssmall 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
Ssssssoon baby….
Ssssssoon baby…
Ooooh I guess you wonder…
Ooooh
The best things come first
Oh, where was my mind
I should've known
That a snake on a throne
Is bound to beguile
Ooooh yeah, I guess you wonder
And the instant I left I knew what not to decide
Lost my innocence due to my otherwise much revered pride
How stupid I was to rely on a snake's advice
