I just don’t understand it,
   Well there’s something at our door
   Now we’re fighting together,
   As dogs of war
   When the moon is shining,
   And you’re wrapped around our sins
   Then our souls starts a-howling
   And the show begins
   Over where the city starts,
   Something comes and slips into its heart
   Snakes and lovers,
   Try to shed our sins
   We’re undercover,
   But it’s slipped beneath our skins
   Snakes and lovers,
   Holding on in the night
   Are you sleeping tight?
   In our Garden of Eden,
   With the poison in disguise
   We had grown love together
   In paradise
   Now utopia’s falling
   And the messages are clear
   That the evil is crawling,
   And fear is near
   Now temptation comes to try,
   So I bite the apple of my eye
   Snakes and lovers,
   Try to shed our sins
   We’re undercover,
   But it’s slipped beneath our skins
   Snakes and lovers,
   Holding on in the night
   Are you sleeping tight?
   Now you’re alone in your room,
   And all of the walls they are turning
   And down on the streets where I walk,
   The light on my eyes it is burning
   So come on and take me, my dear
   And bear the fruits of what we know
   Then our minds will be clear,
   And our hearts will not let go
   Just one more step and we will be over
   Snakes and lovers,
   Try to shed our sins
   We’re undercover,
   But it’s slipped beneath our skins
   Snakes and lovers,
   Holding on in the night
   Are you sleeping tight?
   Holding on in the night
   Are you sleeping tight?
