I wasn't worried I walked into the room I saw the serpant's shadow Against a silver moon And they said as long as you believe You'll be alright And I wasn't worried Till I saw one bite You could touch, you could feel You could smell them all through the night Oh, but as long as you believe, you're gonna be alright Or you'll be running, running for your life But I didn't worry When I caught the spell I saw the eyes, saw the teeth, beads of sweat Think I'd gone to hell But just as long as you believe A snake won't bite Or you'll be running, running for your life But I've gotta tell you Power over snakes, ooh It sure makes me feel so different From a cane break And just as long as you believe A snake won't bite, yeah Taking up serpents Can take your life They stuck my hand down in there Without a bite Oh, just as long as you believe, oh You'll be alright I should be running, running for my life Yeah, oh, I didn't tell you About the one that got bit On the face, on the arms, 'tween the legs On the back of the neck Oh, you see, he didn't believe The boy didn't believe I said he didn't believe He didn't believe And just as long as you believe, a snake won't bite See, I didn't worry 'Cause the snake won't bite Snakes won't bite, ah And the snake won't bite
