[VERSE]

Dm
You can't hold me, I'm too slippery

I do no sleepin', I get lonely

Am                            Dm
You can touch me, if you want to

Dm
I got poison, I just might bite you

[VERSE]

Dm
Lie in circles, on the sunlight

Am                             Dm
Shine like diamonds, on a dark night

Am                       Dm
Ain't no mercy, in my smilin'

Dm
Only fangs and, sweet beguiling

[INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE]

Dm
Future, he don't, try to find me

Am                               Dm
Skin I been through, dies behind me

Am                         Dm
Solid hollow, wrapped in hatred

Dm
Not a drop of, venom wasted

[INSTRUMENTAL] [VERSE]

Dm
You can slip in, try to find me

Hold your breath and, flat deny me

Am                                Dm
It makes no difference, to my thinkin'

Dm
I'll be here when, you start sinkin'
