The Snake

Frank Black


Well, I'm a snake oh yes I'm very smart 
But I was cruel without a humble start 
And I just laughed when you begged and you pleaded 
Now I lay here cut in half 'cause I'm not the one you needed 

So pretty and so timid that's a rabbit's way 
A little pessimistic but that's OK 
A pig or a goat well, they wouldn't let you be mistreated 
So I guess on that note I am not the one you needed 

Oh they call me the snake 
I'm just feeling my way
