Pay the Cobra

I gotta pay the cobra- day and night
Juice the needle or I’m out of sight
It’s an evil affair- no love in sight
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra

A forked-tongue truth- a cold disgrace
A snake in the Saturn house from space
The graceless moves of a dying race
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra

You don’t remember me-
I was never here before
But you speak my name like it’s a disease
Crawling on the floora
Like a vulture at the door
Voice from a whore
Pollution to the mass
The anti-venom
On a piece of glass

I gotta pay the cobra to see the doctor
Fifteen minutes with the cool sidwinder
And five more minutes to get pulled under
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra
