[Intro] (Low conga pulse, guitar slithering in like smoke) [Verse 1] She moves through the shadows, silent as a prayer Poison in her kisses, jasmine in her hair Her eyes are emeralds in the candle glow She'll take your heart before you even know [Pre-Chorus] And the drums are whispering a warning low But your feet keep moving and you can't say no [Chorus] Serpent of the night, with your venomous delight You wrap around my soul and squeeze until it's tight Serpent of the night, in the dark you shine so bright I'm falling, falling for your dangerous light [Verse 2] She dances closer and the room starts spinning You know you're losing but you love the winning Her laughter cuts you like a velvet knife She'll love you once and haunt you all your life [Pre-Chorus] And the drums are whispering a warning low But your feet keep moving and you can't say no [Chorus] Serpent of the night, with your venomous delight You wrap around my soul and squeeze until it's tight Serpent of the night, in the dark you shine so bright I'm falling, falling for your dangerous light [Guitar Solo] (Dark, bluesy guitar solo — slithering, venomous bends over a hypnotic groove) [Bridge] Oh, bite me once more Leave me wanting more Your poison is the cure I've been waiting for [Final Chorus] Serpent of the night, with your venomous delight You wrap around my soul and squeeze until it's tight Serpent of the night, in the dark you shine so bright I'm falling, falling for your dangerous light [Outro] (Guitar fades like smoke, congas heartbeat out)
