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
âSsoâ said the Snake
âWhat bringsss you to me?â
He sizzled âbout âlusstâ
And the âssmall fare he'd chargeâ
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 babyâ¦.
Ssssssoon babyâ¦
Ooooh I guess you wonderâ¦
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
