Song lyrics

If you were there, beware,
The serpent soul pinchers.
Three hundred and fifty ‘no, thank you's and ‘nobody flinches'
Go on, girl, go on, give us something gruesome,
We require your grief. The thugs help the thieves
As they're trying to rob the words from her gob, and
Take the source of the innocence.

If you were there, beware,
The serpent soul pinchers.
Can't you sense she was never meant
To fill column inches?
And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up?
Isn't there to be dug? The thieves help the thugs
As they're trying beat the good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she'll comply.

Why leave her on her own?
If I'd have known then, I wouldn't have said it,
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known.
Why leave her on her own?
If I predicted tears then, I wouldn't have said it,
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known.

There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are.
Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far,
I don't know what it is that they want,
I don't know what it is that they want,
But I haven't got it to give,
She hasn't got it to give.
