Snake Song
Beware the Black Snake: Ottoman Turks' Seductive Serenade
Lyrics
I don't know about much
I don't have much knowledge
But I know about you
I have knowledge about you
You come lookin' for somethin'
You are searching for something
I know you do
I am aware that you are
You been walkin' through the tall grass
You have been taking risks, walking through challenges
Takin' the chance, I know you did
You took a chance, and I know it
Well you stepped on a snake
You encountered a problem or danger
Don't be surprised when you get bit
Don't be surprised if you face consequences
Well you think you're really clever
You believe you're intelligent or cunning
You got stars in your eyes
You are idealistic and hopeful
When I look at you babe
When I see you, I see darkness or negativity
I got the Devil in mine
I possess a malevolent or destructive force within me
Don't you know what I could do to you?
Do you realize the harm I could inflict upon you?
Don't you know what I got in my head?
Do you understand the thoughts in my mind?
Well you stepped on a snake
You are facing consequences for your actions
He gonna wind up in your bed
The negative outcome will affect your personal life
When the lights come on
When the truth is revealed
I won't be there
I won't be present
I'll be crawling back
I'll be returning to an uncertain or unknown place
Back to God knows where
The danger is potent but attractive
That poison's strong
Referring to the allure of a harmful situation
But it tastes so sweet
The danger is enticing despite its toxicity
It won't be long until you're back at my feet
It won't be long until you come back to me
I tried to tell you baby
I attempted to warn you
I'm just better off on my own
I am more content or successful when alone
Well you stepped on a snake
You are facing consequences for your actions (repeated)
You're gonna hear that black snake moan
You will experience the consequences of your actions intensely
