They call him the snake and he sings in the shadows Keeping time behind him is the wolf in sheep's clothes His voice is like honey Poured over midnight Calling through the darkness And promising a good time And all of the right words he's got For all of the wrong moves you make Whether you want to or not You find yourself listenin' To Songs 'bout money, diamonds dripping from the ceiling Songs that promise there is love without commitment Songs that offer an escape from honest livin And songs the glorify all kinds of soul deep sickness I'm just a voice on the corner Nobody knows my name And ain't a damn soul that's listening There all turned round to hear the snake Because All of the right moves, he's got Sleight of hand, mirrors and smoke Whether you meant to or not You find yourself singing along to Songs 'bout money, diamonds dripping from the ceiling Songs that promise there is love without commitment Songs that offer an escape from honest livin And songs the glorify all kinds of soul deep sickness And you laugh, 'cuz he laughs at those who dance and do not listen But you're too busy dancing to give a damn 'bout your misgivin's And you're hooked You don't have to stop when the sun comes up you can follow him down the road He'll lead you laughing and singing and dancing Distracted while the wolf makes off with your soul Then that snake, (oh the bastard)'s gonna sing you to sleep With his sweet sick lullabies of lies on repeat Then he'll leave you to your nightmares Heartbroken and alone It'll be a long time before you find your way back home And they'll sing Ha ha Who's laughing now? HA HA Who's laughing now? Ha ha Who's laughing?
