I heard about the venom
I'd have broke down the finer lines
The rain cried down the window
Just like those tears of mine

Just then a gray haired woman
Sat down right next to me
She heard me cry and looked in my eye
And said, "Baby, I got what you need"

You need a snakebite
And once you get that venom in your veins
 [bad word] alive
I know just what you go through every day
That pain inside, I can make it right
With the snakebite

She handed me a map with streets
I said, "I've never seen"
And she told me, "My friend, this town has secrets
Darker than you could ever dream"

I went to some back alley
Behind the liquor store
If someone had told me how tight it would hold me
I never would have open the door

I got the snakebite
And once I had that venom in my veins
I came alive
Oh, you don't know what I go through everyday
The pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
[ Audra Mae Lyrics are found on www [bad word] ] 
With the snakebite

My momma told me
Baby, be wary of evil ones
Who want to ensnare the heavy heartache
Into their webs and feed upon their souls
Oh momma, I hope you never know

It has been a year now
And all my hair is gray
You know, it's funny
But I don't remember my own name

I'll go and hurt that woman
Who put this pain in me
But my heart is weak, it wants that venom
 [bad word] around 'cause she knows I need

The snakebite
Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins
To feel alive
Oh, you don't know what I go through every day
This pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
With the snakebite

Oh, I gotta get that venom in my veins
 [bad word] alive
Oh, you don't know what I go through every day
This pain inside, I'm gonna make it right
With the snakebite
Oh, I got the snakebite
