I heard about the venom
At a broke down Five and Dime
The rain cried down the window
Just like those tears of mine
Just then a gray haired woman
Sat down right next to me
She heard me cry and looked in my eye
And said, "Baby, I got what you need"
You need a snakebite
And once you get that venom in your veins
They'll come alive
I know just what you go through every day
That pain inside, I can make it right
With the snakebite
She handed me a map with streets
I said, "I've never seen"
And she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets
Darker than you could ever dream"
I went to some back alley
Behind a liquor store
If someone had told me how tight it would hold me
I never would have open the door
I got the snakebite
And once I had that venom in my veins
I came alive
Oh, you don't know what I go through everyday
The pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
With the snakebite
My momma told me
Baby, be wary of evil ones
Who want to ensnare the heavy hearted
Into their webs and feed upon their souls
Oh momma, I hope you never know
It hasn't been a year now
And all my hair is gray
You know, it's funny
But I don't remember my own name
I'd go and hurt that woman
Who put this pain in me
But my heart is weak, it wants that venom
She comes around 'cause she knows I need
The snakebite
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins
To feel alive
Oh, you don't know what I go through every day
This pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
With the snakebite
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins
And come alive
Oh, you don't know what I go through every day
That pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
With the snakebite
Oh, I got the snakebite
