Year of the Snake

You, you were the only one
The lucky one, some would say
But you, you don’t belong to me
And now I really wouldn’t want you anyway

Half Chorus:
And oh, what a year this has been
I don’t want to live it again

Just to the left of temptation
Just outside the realm of what you can feel
You came with the turn of the season
Your eyes as cold and blue as burnished steel

Chorus:
And oh, what a year this has been
I don’t want to live it again
Designed to renounce and forsake
You were spawned in the year of the snake

Bridge:
You say you hate goodbyes and that you’d rather
Slip out the back so noone sees you go
Well you’re nothing but a coward and you know it
I really should have seen that long ago

And now, as the night falls around us
I get the sense that you don’t like the dark
The moon looks like a blood-stained dagger
I’d like to plunge it through your worthless heart

Chorus repeat & fade
And oh, what a year this has been
I don’t want to live it again
Designed to renounce and forsake
You were spawned in the year of the snake
Afraid of the moves that you make
Undone by this tragic mistake
I’ll never be chained to your stake
You were spawned in the year of the snake
Spawned in the year of the snake
