I walked into the room

I saw the serpant's shadow
Against the silver moon

They said as long as you believe
You'll be alright

And I wasn't worried
'Til I saw one bite

You could touch, you could feel
You could smell them all through the night

But as long as you believe, you're gonna be alright

Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I didn't worry, when I caught the spell
I saw the eyes, saw the teeth, beads of sweat
Think I'd gone to hell

They said as long as you believ
A snake won't bite

Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I've gotta tell you
Power over snakes
Sure makes me feel so different
From a cane break

And just as long as you believe
A snake won't bite, yeah

Taking up serpents can take your life
They stuck my hand down in there without a bite

Just as long as you believe, boy
You'll be alright

I should be running, running for my life

(solo)

Yeeeeh Uh

Oh I didn't tell you
About the one that got bit
On the face, on the arms
Between the legs, on the back of the neck

Uh

You see, he didn't believe
The boy didn't believe
I said he didn't believe
He didn't believe

And just as long as you believe, a snake won't bite

Uh

So I didn't worry 'cause the snake won't bite
The snake won't bite
The snake won't bite
