Lyrics

There's a snake in my pocket
I keep it in there
It's warm and it's quiet
And nobody cares
Mama said throw it out
It'll bite you someday
But it looked up so sad
That I let it stay
I fed it my secrets
I fed it my spite
I fed it the things
That I did in the night
It grew and it grew
Till it wrapped round my chest
And it hissed
I'm the part of you that you like best
I went to the preacher
I said take it out
He said that's the devil
There ain't any doubt
But when I looked close
At the snake in his coat
It was thicker than mine
And it hung the same
No, no, no, no, no
So I took it to Eden
Back to the tree
And I hung it back up
Like it wasn't from me
But the apple was gone
And the garden was bare
And the snake said
You silly thing
I was the stare
Now I walk with my snake
And I don't hide it much
It sleeps in my hat
And it wakes my touch
And the folks point fingers
And say that I'm wrong
Well, their pockets are moving
I can hear them alone
