I gotta pay the cobra- day and night.
Juice the needle or I’m out of sight.
It’s an evil affair- no love in sight.
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra.
A forked-tongue truth- a cold disgrace.
A snake in the Saturn house from space.
The graceless moves of a dying race.
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra.
You don’t remember me-
I was never here before.
But you speak my name like it’s a disease,
Crawling on the floora
Like a vulture at the door
Voice from a whore
Pollution to the mass
The anti-venom
On a piece of glass.
I gotta pay the cobra to see the doctor.
Fifteen minutes with the cool sidwinder.
And five more minutes to get pulled under.
Just pay the cobra, pay the cobra, pay the cobra.
