lyrics

The Snake Charmer

There's a black snake in Eden darlin'
Trying to tell me what to do
Crying “Burn down this garden oh”
And leave without you

Take a down at the nearest crossroads
Fastest way out of here
No better way to forget her you know
Then run out of here

But I, oh I
Am The Snake Charmer
And I, oh I,
Well I know better
And you, oh you
Better know, you better know
That you,
Are my Eden darlin'

Tell that black Snake he's got no business
Tryin' to rid all that we have built
That bastards probably just jealous
We're not lonely still

For a moment don't you lose your faith
Don't you listen, to the black Snake
Don't let him cheat you and take it all
Life was better before the fall

But I, oh I
Am The Snake Charmer
And I, oh I,
Well I know better
And you, oh you
Better know, you better know
That you,
You're my Eden darlin'
That you,
You're my Eden darlin'
