| I wasn’t worried
|
| I walked into the room
|
| I saw the serpant’s shadow
|
| Against the silver moon
|
| They said as long as you believe
|
| You’ll be alright
|
| And I wasn’t worried
|
| 'Til I saw one bite
|
| You could touch, you could feel
|
| You could smell them all through the night
|
| 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
|
| They said as long as you believ
|
| A snake won’t bite
|
| Or you’ll be running, running for your life
|
| But I’ve gotta tell you
|
| Power over snakes
|
| 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
|
| Just as long as you believe, boy
|
| You’ll be alright
|
| I should be running, running for my life
|
| (solo)
|
| Yeeeeh Uh
|
| Oh I didn’t tell you
|
| About the one that got bit
|
| On the face, on the arms
|
| Between the legs, on the back of the neck
|
| Uh
|
| 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
|
| Uh
|
| So I didn’t worry 'cause the snake won’t bite
|
| The snake won’t bite
|
| The snake won’t bite |
