Audra Mae - Snakebite lyrics

I heard about the venom At a broke down five and dime, The rain cried down the windows Just like those tears of mine, Just then a gray haired woman Sat down right next to me Cause she heard me cryin'. Looked in my eyes and said, "Baby I got what you need. You need the snake bite. You got to get that venom In your veins and come alive. I know just what you go through Every day; that pain inside. But I can make it right With the snake bite. She handed me a map with streets I said I'd never seen and she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets Darker than you could ever dream." I went to some back alley Behind a liquor store. If someone had told me How tight it would hold me, I never would've opened the door. My mama told me, "Baby be wary of Evil ones who want to ensnare The heavy hearted into their webs And feed upon their souls". Oh, Mama, I hope you never know. It hasn't been a year, now And all my hair is gray. You know, it's funny but I don't remember my own name. I'd go and hurt that woman Who put this pain in me, But my heart is weak. It wants that venom. She comes around cause she knows Oh, I got the snake bite.
