[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
I felt a stutter and a waiver, cutting like a razor
Like fire through the snow, then straight down to the bone
She creeps up like a spider, and wants you deep inside her
She turns you into stone, a twisted little show
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
That's how it was to all begin, 'cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line where Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go in search of the great unknown
And falling yet again, 'cause good girls, they like to sin
[Verse 2: Tom DeLonge]
You are a hero and survivor, your eyes are getting tired
There's claw marks on your spine, it happens all the time
The silent evil daughters, like sirens on the water
You've been the perfect crime, it happens all the time
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
That's how it was to all begin, 'cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line where Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go in search of the great unknown
And falling yet again, 'cause good girls, they like to sin
[Bridge: Tom DeLonge]
Good girls, they like to sin
Falling yet again
Good girls, they like to sin
Good girls, they like to sin
[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
That's how it was to all begin, 'cause good girls who like to sin
Way back at the starting line where Eve was on Adam's mind
And he was the first to go in search of the great unknown
And falling yet again, 'cause good girls, they like to sin

In the track by track for Neighbourhoods Mark said:
“Snake Charmer” was actually based around a riff that Tom had had for a while, I think even before the hiatus of blink and then had kept around and then brought back in. We built a song around the heavy guitar progression in the beginning of the s...
