Do best things come first? I was in two minds So I tried my luck In the Garden of Dusk Where the Wise Snake presides How was I to know I'd be badly advised Before I fell From the blistering sky With eyes opened wide Ooooooh "Sso" said the Snake "What bringsss you to me?" He sizzled 'bout "lusst" And the "ssmall fare he'd charge" As a favour to me So warm was his breath But so cooling his skin That I forgot Every warning I got My resistance grew thin And he said Ssssssoon baby... Ssssssoon baby... Ooooh I guess you wonder... Ooooh The best things come first Oh, where was my mind I should've known That a snake on a throne Is bound to beguile Ooooh yeah, I guess you wonder And the instant I left I knew what not to decide Lost my innocence due to my otherwise much revered pride How stupid I was to rely on a snake's advice
