I do no wrong.
But there is something there,
Something I can't quite make out,
But I know it's there.
It's looking for someone,
Or something.
It dark, monstrous and mean.
It looks right at me.
Perhaps it is right,
Perhaps it is true,
That the devil lives in Salem,
That he lives in me and you
There are snakes in the water,
There is gossip in the air,
As I lay down on your bed
no thoughts running through my head as your lips press to my neck,
I never though that you would as something like that from me so soon.
