Only Snakes Crawl at Nite

They smile in daylight, talk so sweet and light,
but they hide their fangs till it’s good and night.
They take what they came for, then slip out of sight,
just users and takers, snakes that crawl at night.

They linger till closing, hanging ’round all night,
pretending they’re lonely, playing Mr. Right.
They’ll drain every soft heart that walks through that door,
then vanish by midnight, out to hunt for more.

(Chorus)
Snakes crawl at night when the lights go down, 
They circle your heart like the gossip in town.
They love you in shadows where you can’t see right, 
Then shed you by sunrise like snakes crawl at night. 


They pour out sweet promises, sound so true, 
acting like their whole world starts and ends with you. 
But once they have tasted all your tender trust, 
they’re off down the highway, leaving you in dust. 

They act like they’re broken, needing someone’s hand, 
say they’re tired of wandering, ready now to stand. 
But soon as you lift them, help them off the ground, 
they slither to someone else they just have found. 

(Bridge)
You think you’re the first one they’ve ever charmed, 
but they’ve left a trail full of hearts they’ve harmed. 
They whisper you’re different, swear this time is real, 
but snakes crawl at night where the wounds never heal. 
Snakes crawl at night when the lights go down, 
They circle your heart like the gossip in town.
They love you in shadows where you can’t see right, 
Then shed you by sunrise like snakes crawl at night. 

(Chorus)
Snakes crawl at night when the lights go down, 
They circle your heart like the gossip in town.
They love you in shadows where you can’t see right, 
Then shed you by sunrise like snakes crawl at night. 
Snakes crawl at night when the lights go down, 
They circle your heart like the gossip in town.
They love you in shadows where you can’t see right, 
Then shed you by sunrise like snakes crawl at night.
