Snakes

You set the snakes loose inside my belly

They're done with my supper

they start on my endocrine lining

You said, "Please, stop your whining!"

This isn't a love song

I'm through writing those for you

All the while you claimed

the ghost in you lives, but it's dead

It's inside my head

And all that I know is that it's midnight

and you haven't called

Oh when you sigh, and you cry

I figure you probably lie and I'm here waiting

And all I can see, if there's anyone fooled

then it's probably me

And I'm here waiting

And all that I know is that it's midnight

and you haven't called

All that I see is that it's midnight

and you haven't called.

All that I know is I'm left with frustration

and this hyperactive imagination of mine

I would love to lay all my faith in you

Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?

I would love to but...

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over!

You say you're at mother's but do you mean LOVERS?

Are you in the amorous arms of another?

It chills every bone in me, straight to the core of me

Your girlfriend concurs with you, is she your alibi?

How did you get that sweet little girl to lie?

Meanwhile I'm here waiting

And all that I know is that it's midnight

and you haven't called

All that I see is that it's midnight

and you haven't called.

All that I know is I'm left with frustration

and this hyperactive imagination of mine

I would love to place all my faith in you

Why can't I let fate have it's way with me?

I would love to place all my trust in you

Why can't I? 'cause..

It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over again!

This isn't a love song

I'm through writing those for you

All the while you claimed

that the ghost in you lives, but it's dead

and it's inside my head

And all that I know is it's midnight

and you haven't called
