Of Course It's a Trap

I curl around what I love
And squeeze 'til I've choked it- poisoning myself
Like that serpent on the back of the ambulance
A snake just needs a home

I wish you would meditate so I could crawl up your spine
Through the rainbow until your consciousness was mine
And held the world whole
A snake just needs a home

I want to constrict your heart into submission
But you tempt me like an evangelical
Taking and taking you never give
Soon you'll banish me like St. Patrick
With your pied piper promises and you don't know
A snake just needs a home

And Eros' erroneous arrows
Keep me crushing on straight chicks
I wish that Cupid cocksucker would learn how to aim
So I'll catch what comes along;
Because a snake just needs a home

And I'll shed this skin so you can make a pair of boots
Since the softest warfare's the kind
That defeats the undefeatable
I make my bed with criminals- the only rest I know
A snake just needs a home
