[00:00.64] I was born on Snake Hill
[00:04.58] And that's where I'll probably die
[00:08.45] Because I don't like to kill
[00:12.44] But I've got poison in my bite
[00:16.57]
[00:17.38] Well, I feel safe to say
[00:21.00] That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
[00:27.53]
[00:32.59] My mother told me,
[00:35.89] "Son, you've got strychnine in your blood
[00:40.89] It comes from pedigree ancestory"
[00:48.37] She warned me not to grieve
[00:52.32] Said my concience was too deep
[00:56.19] That when I bite
[00:58.36] It would hurt mostly me
[01:02.35]
[01:04.48] For many many years
[01:08.66] I stayed up on that hill
[01:12.42] Occasionaly I'd go down to the edge
[01:19.55] To see what I could see
[01:23.67] So curiousty got the best of me
[01:29.90]
[01:31.59] Its a big world and it's not fair to me
[01:35.80] To stay up there when there's so much to see
[01:39.71] I want to play with others that I need to meet
[01:47.60] Poison will be poison until it's through
[01:53.86]
[01:55.29] Soon I hit the world
[01:59.51] I discovered that a girl
[02:03.16] Was what my mother tried to hide from me
[02:10.28] She could make you feel alive
[02:14.53] She could make you want to die
[02:18.68] And that's exactly what she did to me
[02:24.84]
[02:26.72] And it was only self defense
[02:30.33] And I coiled up and I bit
[02:34.11] I let my venom run into her veins
[02:41.47] And I sat and watched her die
[02:47.55] Then I realized I was born on Snake Hill
[02:57.62] And that's where I'll probably die
[03:01.31] Because I don't like to kill
[03:05.20] But I've got poison in my bite
[03:09.27] Well, I feel safe to say
[03:13.24] That I should probably stay upon Snake Hill
[03:21.50] And it's a big world and it's not fair to me
[03:25.50] To have to stay when there's so much to see
[03:29.19] I want to play with others that I need to meet
[03:35.63]
[03:37.13] And poison will be poison until it's through
[03:44.92] Poison will be poison until it's through
[03:52.56] Poison will be poison until it's through
[04:01.66] Poison will be poison until it's through
[04:10.44]
