I wasn't worried

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
