Snake Hill

I was born on Snake Hill
 And that's where I'll probably die
 Because I don't like to kill
 But I've got poison in my bite
 Well, I feel safe to say
 That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
 My mother told me, "Son
 You got strychnine in your blood
 It comes from pedigree ancestory"
 She warned me not to leave
 Said my concience was too deep
 That when I bite
 It would hurt mostly me
 For many many years
 I stayed up on that hill
 Occasionaly I'd go down to the edge
 Just to see what I could see
 So curiosity got the best of me
 Well, it's a big world and it's not fair to me
 To stay up there when there's so much to see
 I want to play with others that I need to meet
 Poison will be poison till it's through
 Soon I hit the world
 I discovered that a girl
 Was what my mother tried to hide from me
 She could make you feel alive
 She could make you want to die
 And that's exactly what she did to me
 And it was only self defense
 But I coiled up and I bit
 I let my venom run into her veins
 And I sat and watched her die
 To me
 Then I realized
 I was born on Snake Hill
 And that's where I'll probably die
 Because I don't like to kill
 But I've got poison in my bite
 Well, I feel safe to say
 That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
 And it's a big world and it's not fair to me
 To have to stay when there's so much to see
 I want to play with others that I need to meet
 And poison will be poison till it's through
 Poison will be poison till it's through
 Poison will be poison till it's through
 Poison will be poison till it's through
