Crooked Fingers - Here Come the Snakes lyrics

Dim the lanterns k** the lights let's leave tonight to hide away To take cold comfort in the dark and leave our hearts behind to wait We'll tear away these dreadful skins that we must shed to start again The evil things that you can do are easy if you think them through Are easy if you can pretend So shut your windows lock your doors Here come the snakes you best be sure To keep your conscience bolted tight 'Cause they'll be lying waiting Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar 'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire So keep your shadow out of sight the time is right to hide away To keep your conscience frozen numb the time has come don't be afraid We'll tear away these dreadful skins that we must shed to start again The sickest thing they did to you the did because you let them through The did because you let them in So shut your windows lock your doors Here come the snakes you best be sure To keep your conscience bolted tight 'Cause they'll be lying waiting Coiled up in the corner a devil never dies Vending venom sickly sweet to help you through the night You say you're an angel but I say you're a liar 'Cause you were burning long before you crept into this fire I know you've been burning we both know there's no light So dim the lanterns so we don't see the darkness of this night
