Pete Cullen & The Hurt

Lyrics

A red belly black snake bit me on the hoof
I cried and I screamed like only the lonely man could
She tourniquet the garter belt around my neck
To try to stop the bleeding
Said compose yourself

I laid paralyzed in a pool blood
I looked into her eyes and saw the devil below
She was possessed by another man
The snake was sliding right through her mojo hand

Well the streets where I came from
Made me wise

I woke up jumped up and cut off this hurt
It slid and it hissed right down in the dirt
Now I'm alone yeah I do my thing
But I still have the scars from her little pretty dirty fangs

Now the laws of the jungle ain’t quite what they seem
You can’t see who’s coming at lightning speed
You’re better off running in the open fields
Get ready for battle grab hold of your shield

I bounced back western whack
Chopped off its head
It bled and screamed all over the bed
Now I'm alone yeah I do my thing
But I still have the scars from her little pretty dirty fangs

It's a dark night sitting in the lonely hearts club
We've all been there and copped a push and a shove
It’s been a longtime since I felt her sting
I guess that’s why they call me
The snake-taming king
