Paroles de A Serious of Snakes

It looks serious, is that a paper I see in your hand?
Then a pause for a German phrase, "Nie weider nie weider, nie weider nie weider"
Never again, none of your lip, y'tulip
Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig, y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake
I'd rather make furniture than go to midnight mass
Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

He's a genius in research, I simply fell in love, I've got your zip code?
Other there USA, green-turbaned angels annex the right bank
Baby, in a shambolic sideshow they abandoned the baby
Baby trained, baby returns, baby kills Mary and Joseph

Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

Talk about laughing, I might be defeated cancer, or so they say
Electrocuted I was transformed into a foot soldier of the good general
Passionate for knights in the heart of ancient Persia, fearless to go forth
Fearless to adapt, then blow to pieces

Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

Please send your God my very best wishes, does He still sing? Y'tulip, y'pea-brained earwig
Y'punk, y'silver-tongued shnake

When you lose the ship, it's like losing a part of you
I have a sense of my exposure, it's all on the neg
I try to use 2 instead of 3, ah, but I have secrets
And there's a story in me, it starts
