Cherry Poppin' Daddies - The Mongoose & The Snake Lyrics

This is the house where they used to be lovers
The real estate agent has closed
He sits with himself in his car for a moment
It's stuffed with confusion like it's sick with everything he owns

Hey, another cold reminder of the heat, my friend
Hey, or just a thrown off comment that could knock her off her feet again
Hey, well don't apologize, hey, and no compromise
You know that neither one will back down and never will break
The mongoose and the snake

This was dream that they thought they believed in
This was the prison they chose
Dying inside is a smile's anaconda
It's squeezing them senseless 'til they choked up their black plastic rose

Hey, another cold reminder of the heat, my friend
Hey, or just a thrown off comment that could knock her off her feet again
Hey, don't apologize, hey, and no compromise
You know that neither one will back down and never will break

Time rushes by, believe me, no ties that bind come easy
We're drowning victims of this agony, this ecstasy, you versus me

Time rushes by and in the blink of an eye you wither
Rich talk gets followed up by a straight faced hypocrisy
Up 'til the time he was drunk and he spit in her face
The mongoose and the snake, the mongoose and the snake
The mongoose and the snake, the mongoose and the snake
