Blue Eyes

the snake with blue eyes
is always tellin lies
be careful little girl what you believe

he'll con you in 
to a world full of sin
and all that you hear is deceit

cause the snake always knows 
what you wanna hear
and he'll do everything to show
that he holds you dear 

hes played this game before 
hes faced many wars 
and that devil knows just what to do 

with those words you'll be sure 
that he will always want more 
that forked tongue can forever sooth 

the snake with blue eyes 
is always tellin lies
be careful little girl what you believe 

for i know this demon all too well
the snake that i speak of is me.


o but then 

i thought the snake with blue eyes
was the one tellin lies
but nothing could be further from the truth

for the snake with green eyes 
had crept up inside 
and made all my dreams come true 

and i know how it hurts 
when that poison sinks in 
after the first time she bites

the pain is too familiar 
and blended with sin
turning all that's wrong into right

cause the snake with green eyes 
was the one tellin lies 
the snake with green eyes was you
