....blame it on the snake....
....blame it on the snake....


Blame it on the snake in Eden who brought out the weakness of Eve
He'd blame the guy who created the apple and I don't know who to believe!
I only know that the serpent lives on... and I don't get any younger....
and the fruit of temptation is hard to resist now you are the cause of the hunger...

CHORUS:
Am I making the same mistake again? Losing my soul for the sake of a song?...
Out of control with the shakes again... Maybe I'm blind but I can't see where I went wrong....


....blame it on the snake....


I had forgotten how bad it felt to lie awake racked with desire.
To feign indifference to photographs that set your mind on fire...
God knows I should have learned enough not to let a man like you reach me.
Assuming we learn from experience... is there anything new you can teach me?

CHORUS:
Am I making the same mistake again? Losing my soul for the sake of a song?...
Out of control with the shakes again... Maybe I'm blind but I can't see where I went wrong....


....blame it on the snake....


If I could go back to the garden I would take that old snake by the tail.
Curse him to Hell for the torment I'm in... least I'd try - but I'd probably fail!
For there you would be in the back of my mind and I couldn't deny the sensation
For the weakness of Eve is the weakness in me and I'd want you far more than salvation...

CHORUS:
I'd be making the same mistake again? Losing my soul for the sake of a song!...
Out of control with the shakes again... Maybe I'm blind but I can't see where I went wrong....
