Lyrics

[Refrain]
Centipede
Centipede
[Verse 1]
Your love is like a raging fire, oh
You're a snake that's on the loose
The strike is your desire
But when the centipede is hot
You're bound to feel the fire
And when the centipede is hot
You're bound to feel the fire
[Verse 2]
I feel, oh, yeah, a longing for your touch
Like you crawled into the bathroom window
To give him all your love
Like a centipede that's hot
The fire is in your touch
Just like a centipede, you've got
A lot of loving to touch
[Chorus]
Don't you know in the quiet of the night
Is when the snake is in the crawling
And the moon starts to glow, then disappear?
When the time is really right
Is when the centipede is crawling
You'll be crying in the night, so many tears
Now you're crawling like a centipede
[Refrain]
Centipede
[Verse 3]
You came to strike him with your love
Like you crawled into the bathroom window
To bite him with your love
Like a centipede that's hot
The fire is in your touch
Just like a centipede, you've got
A lot of loving to touch
[Chorus]
Don't you know in the quiet of the night
Is when the snake is in the crawling
And the moon starts to glow, then disappear?
When the time is really right
Is when the centipede is crawling
You'll be crying in the night, so many tears
Now you're crawling like a centipede
[Refrain]
Centipede
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night is when the snake is in the crawling
And the moon starts to glow then disappear
When the time is really right
Is when the centipede is crawling
You'll be crying in the night, so many tears
[Chorus]
In the quiet of the night is when the snake is in the crawling
And the moon starts to glow, then disappear
Like a centipede
When the time is really right
Is when the centipede is crawling
You'll be crying in the night, so many tears
Now you're crawling like a centipede
[Refrain]
