Snake Charmer Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Old hollow eyes
Got no ties
Walking by the light of the moon
Hey shiny boots
With strings and flutes
Rising like a crazy balloon
[Chorus]
Close your door
He's on the loose
Umm, here he comes
No hope for you, ooh
Snake charmer, he'll haunt you
[Verse 2]
So, hey mystery man
What's your plan
I've got to tell the world
To beware you don't care
He'll hypnotize you
And tell you lies
He's hiding at the top of the stairs
[Chorus]
Close your door
He's on the move
I see him coming out
There's no hope for you, ooh
Snake charmer
Snake charmer
Get out
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 3]
Hey fancy face
Got no place
Living from a hole in the ground
Old sparkle eyes
He never cries
One step ahead of the hounds
[Chorus]
Close your door
He's on his way
He's coming out
Of the shadows now, now
No hope for you, ooh
Snake charmer
Snake charmer
Now listen to me, yeah
[Verse 4]
Hey hollow eyes
Got no ties
Oh shiny boots
Play your strings and flutes
Mystery man what's your plan
Fancy face, got no place
Snake charmer
He'll harm you
[Outro]
Oh sparkle eyes
Got no ties
Oh shiny boots
Close your door
He's on the loose
Snake charmer
My mystery man what's your plan
I've got to tell the world to beware
You don't care
Hypnotized
