Cold lightning cracks the sky
Sixteen stallions going by
No strength to stand, no will to fight
Every corner, every block
Rolling heat waves of shock
Children kick you out of spite
I got kissed by Suzie Q
Left my balls black and blue
Eyes turn black, hair turn white
Guess I lost my concentration
Guess my prayers were all in vain
It's an ice cold sensation
Equal parts pleasure and pain
Get ahead, you fall back
Westbound train off the track
Dust cloud blows through a poison night
(Did I stay by?)
Follow you down to the riverside
Water deep, black and wide
Swim across takes all your mind
(Dead by snakebite)
Guess I lost my concentration (Lost my concentration)
Guess my prayers were all in vain (All in vain)
It's an ice cold sensation
Equal parts pleasure and pain
Clean as glass, pure as fire
Venom drips from a telephone wire
Keep me close, need to hold me tight
Dead by snakebite
I don't need no antidote
Just keep me warm with your overcoat
I'm a little dizzy but I feel alright
Dead by snakebite
Dead by snakebite
Dead by snakebite
Dead by snakebite
Baby, dead by snakebite
Dead by snakebite
