Crooked Fingers - Here Come The Snakes lyrics

rate me

Dim the lanterns kill 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<br />
