Arsenic in the Year of the Snake

Thirteen like a hex in the winter night,

Black clouds on me.

Fifty two hard scales on a serpent's back,

Goddamn them all!

Bad vibes thrown around like a hurricane

To break down the skeptic in my head

And I thought I was the last one believing in this.Superstition or alchemy

Thirty three in the thirteenth year.

Superstition or alchemy

Arsenic in the year of the snake.

Thirteen like a hex in the summer sky,

Black clouds on you.

Twelve long sharp teeth in a serpent's mouth,

Goddamn them all!

Bad luck chained to you like a prison weight

To break down the skeptic in my head

And I thought I was the last one believing in this.Superstition or alchemy

Thirty three in the thirteenth year.

Superstition or alchemy

Arsenic in the year of the snake.Superstition or alchemy

Rhetoric, perfectly clear.

Superstition making sense to me

Too many friends died this year!

Whatever you believe in

Three hundred and sixty five days

It was never ending

For you, for me.

And I'm normally the positive one

Three hundred and sixty five days

It was never ending,

Thirteen, thirteen.Superstition or alchemy

Arsenic in the year of the snake.

Superstition making sense to me

Too many friends died this year!
