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?
