Pit Viper

Steven Gustafson, Natalie Merchant

[Verse 1]
In the cruel garrison of affection
If worth of lore is true
You know the face of a temptress
A pit viper
A pit viper

[Verse 2]
In the cruel garrison of affection
If worth of lore is true
You know the face
The face of a temptress
Pit viper
Pit viper
Pit viper

[Bridge]
A witch or enchantress
Pit viper

[Verse 3]
With the malign venom of conceit
She tries
Civil men conceal fear
Misgivings
When night entreats them, a greater chill sustains
Sustains her
Darkness
Shall not
Not
Not inhibit death blow

[Chorus]
Pit viper
Pit viper

[Verse 4]
Know this skin does not restrict her
Tear and she'd the coil
Fall of garland
Garland leaves blow
The soil
