[VERSE]
DmYou can't hold me, I'm too slippery
I do no sleepin', I get lonely
AmYou can touch me, if you want Dmto
DmI got poison, I just might bite you
[VERSE]
DmLie in circles, on the sunlight
AmShine like diamonds, on a dark Dmnight
AmAin't no mercy, in my smiDmlin'
DmOnly fangs and, sweet beguiling
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[VERSE]
DmFuture, he don't, try to find me
AmSkin I been through, dies behind Dmme
AmSolid hollow, wrapped in haDmtred
DmNot a drop of, venom wasted
[INSTRUMENTAL]
[VERSE]
DmYou can slip in, try to find me
Hold your breath and, flat deny me
AmIt makes no difference, to my thinDmkin'
DmI'll be here when, you start sinkin'
