[VERSE]

Dm
You can't hold me, I'm too slippery

I do no sleepin', I get lonely
Am                            Dm
You can touch me, if you want to
Dm
I got poison, I just might bite you

[VERSE]

Dm
Lie in circles, on the sunlight
Am                             Dm
Shine like diamonds, on a dark night
Am                       Dm
Ain't no mercy, in my smilin'
Dm
Only fangs and, sweet beguiling

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]

Dm
Future, he don't, try to find me
Am                               Dm
Skin I been through, dies behind me
Am                         Dm
Solid hollow, wrapped in hatred
Dm
Not a drop of, venom wasted

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE]

Dm
You can slip in, try to find me

Hold your breath and, flat deny me
Am                                Dm
It makes no difference, to my thinkin'
Dm
I'll be here when, you start sinkin'
