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?
