Snake - Modestep

Slipping right through your fingers

Behind your back, moving right between us

Cause all you know is to take, take, take

And just for taking’s sake, you know

The snake can’t harm its charmer

It’s spitting venom right over your shoulder

Cause it can’t break-break what you made, you made

It’s all the same, the same

Let’s make this understood

I’ve heard that you’ve been up to no good

Sneaking words around my neighbourhood

Let’s make you understand

I’ve heard that you’ve been acting bad

But you said you ain’t right up to that

You’re just a snake

Slipping round behind my back

You’re just a snake

You let me down, and I’m done with that

It takes an open heart now to be fooled

I bet you never thought you had it in you

Cause all you know is to take, take, take

And just for taking’s sake, you know

You see deceit is bad behaviour

You shouldn’t have one unless you tame it

Just wrap this up, I’m well and truly done

I bet this will wind up on you
