[Verse 1] Gold around my throat My emeralds warn the doom Hear the warning hiss Before I enter the room... But they always come close... They always wanna know And see the scales... Under my clothes [Pre-Chorus] The sting tastes sweeter when I lie They think they see an angel... til they look in my eyes [long pause] Come a little closer... [Chorus] Serpent, serpent, wrapped 'round your heart Love me once, and I'll rip you apart One little kiss, one little biiite Give me your heart, it's mine tonight [Post-Chorus] Heart by heart One kiss, one bite I take what I like [Verse 2 - Staccato sensual Rap] Gold fangs, slick tongue, slithering through Black dress, bare back, drippin off perfume Eyes lock, stop stop, let him lose his cool One bite, no waste, give me your truth Silk skin, sink in, coil round his chest Slow squeeze, weak knees, you know all the rest Heart beat, so sweet, pounding in my hands One kiss, got it, now you understand.. [Pre-Chorus] Every heartbeat whispers my name... [Chorus] Serpent, serpent, wrapped 'round your heart Love me once, and I'll rip you apart One little kiss, one little biiite Give me your heart, it's mine tonight [Post-Chorus] Heart by heart One kiss, one bite I take what I like [quick guitar lick] [Bridge] I keep the hearts in a treasure chest Beating there for fun From kings and thieves and pretty boys I’ve taken every one [staccato minimal instrumentation, close mic] [Music drops out] I don't need your body... I came for what beats inside it. [build up with drums] Heart by heart, I build my kingdom Heart by heart, I wear the crown [Final Chorus - lifted chord] Serpent, serpent, wrapped 'round your heart Love me once, and I'll rip you apart One little kiss, one little biiite Give me your heart, it's mine tonight [Post-Chorus] Heart by heart One kiss, one bite I take what I like [belting] SERPENT, SERPENT! YOUR HEART IS MINE! [background echoes] Heart by heart One kiss, one bite I take what I like [Outro - whispered] Heart by heart One kiss, one bite I take what I like
