Three Snake Leaves Lyrics

Let's row hard sink or swim

Trust no one think you'll win

Sea salt spray take it all away

Holiday yeah we're off again

What you gonna say

Come on pray

Tell me why there's so many snakes hidden in the waves

Hey! Everybody gets betrayed be afraid

Hey! do you wanna hear a story well okay

See I had this missus treated like a princess

But that bitch was vicious now listen to this

Shit

We sailed out on this ship a voyage for business

But she did me dirty like oily dishes

I swallowed my instincts and followed her wishes

Was she up to no good

Well the answer is yes

The captain was meeting her she gave him kisses

That should have been mine

Can you hear this foolishness

And then they decided that they were in love

And both plotted to send me to sleep with the fishes

I was asleep when they did this

Threw me overboard that was deeply malicious what is this

The person I loved was extremely fictitious

A faker a traitor a fiend and a mistress

I fought the waves just to keep my existence

But luckily I had some secret provisions

Let's row hard

Sink or swim

Trust no one

Think you'll win

Well ship mate they thought I was dead

But now I'm using my head

Cause she was confused and mislead

Thinking I sunk like a stone but instead

I got back on the ship and I chopped off his head

Then I cut hers off left it in his bed

And laughed like a loon I was covered with red

See the trick to survival I'll tell you instead

It's a new drug called Snake Leaves you take these and yes

You'll live even if you had ten seconds left

So I took three of them with my very last breath

And swam back to the ship you know what happened next

I guess there are things I don't need to accept

She cheated on me but I cheated on death

I got my revenge I don't feel no regret

Some people would bet I was evil and yet

I just did what she did to me really that's it

Now the sea is my girl and she's faithful to me

So sailor tell me are you able to be

Discreet if you are I can sell you these leaves

And you too can cheat death with the help of just three

Well how much you selling it for?

If you want to live a bit longer you'll have to shell out a bit of bounty

It ain't seaweed I'm selling

Oh alright go on then

Come over here and I'll sort you out mate

People don't do what they're supposed to do

You can betrayed by those close to you

Close to you

Love is like a wave for the chosen few

It crashes and escapes then it's over too

Let's row hard

Sink or swim

Trust no one

Think you'll win

Hey ho

Lets go

Snakes won't

Get no
