I wasn't worried
I walked into the room
I saw the serpant's shadow

Against the silver moon
They said as long as you believe
You'll be alright

And I wasn't worried
'Til I saw one bite
You could touch, you could feel

You could smell them all through the night
But as long as you believe, you're gonna be alright
Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I didn't worry, when I caught the spell
I saw the eyes, saw the teeth, beads of sweat
Think I'd gone to hell

They said as long as you believ
A snake won't bite
Or you'll be running, running for your life

But I've gotta tell you
Power over snakes
Sure makes me feel so different

From a cane break
And just as long as you believe
A snake won't bite, yeah

Taking up serpents can take your life
They stuck my hand down in there without a bite
Just as long as you believe, boy

You'll be alright
I should be running, running for my life
(solo)

Yeeeeh Uh
Oh I didn't tell you
About the one that got bit

On the face, on the arms
Between the legs, on the back of the neck
Uh

You see, he didn't believe
The boy didn't believe
I said he didn't believe

He didn't believe
And just as long as you believe, a snake won't bite
Uh

So I didn't worry 'cause the snake won't bite
The snake won't bite
The snake won't bite
