| I heard about the venom | |
| At a broke down five and dime, | |
| The rain cried down the windows | |
| Just like those tears of mine, | |
| Just then a gray haired woman | |
| Sat down right next to me | |
| Cause she heard me cryin'. | |
| Looked in my eyes and said, | |
| "Baby I got what you need. | |
| You need the snake bite. | |
| You got to get that venom | |
| In your veins and come alive. | |
| I know just what you go through | |
| Every day; that pain inside. | |
| But I can make it right | |
| With the snake bite. | |
| She handed me a map with streets | |
| I said I’d never seen and she told me, | |
| "My friend, this town has secrets | |
| Darker than you could ever dream." | |
| I went to some back alley | |
| Behind a liquor store. | |
| If someone had told me | |
| How tight it would hold me, | |
| I never would’ve opened the door. | |
| My mama told me, "Baby be wary of | |
| Evil ones who want to ensnare | |
| The heavy hearted into their webs | |
| And feed upon their souls". | |
| Oh, Mama, I hope you never know. | |
| It hasn’t been a year, now | |
| And all my hair is gray. | |
| You know, it's funny but | |
| I don’t remember my own name. | |
| I'd go and hurt that woman | |
| Who put this pain in me, | |
| But my heart is weak. | |
| It wants that venom. | |
| She comes around cause she knows | |
| Oh, I got the snake bite. |
