You almost got me good this time with your subtle subterfuge You had me buyin' all your lies tryin' to make me play the stooge But now he's opened up my eyes to all your crafty schemes And now he's ripped off your disguise, get your hands off my dreams I tried to take you on myself but the fight just wasn't fair 'Cause I was only swingin' blind and you caught me unaware But when I fell against the ropes I shouted out his name He came and picked up all my hopes and he beat you at your own game You sidewinder, I'm all through with you You spellbinder, not gonna play the fool for you Well I might stumble, I might fall but a battle's not the war Because his blood has done it all I don't need you anymore He said to crucify my flesh and I know his words are true And now that old man's put to death and his spirit's comin' through You sidewinder, I'm all through with you You spellbinder, not gonna play the fool for you
