Lyrics

well we laughed real hard right at first
to the world outside and our point of view
but a snake knows how to charm
when it's eyes on you

already making plans
when we hadn't built a solid land
now tellin' me what to say
or you will be on your way

but once you started hissin'
the cold began a kissin'

(chorus) boa.. constrictor
you wrap yourself around me
so tightly I can't see
so tightly I can't speak
wonder what I'll be
when the world cannot see
boa constrictor
there's nothing left of me

those eyes can mesmerize
so much they had me blind
sometimes you see what you want
and not what's really there

but once you started squirmin'
I started a learnin'

(chorus)
(instrumental)

you think that you had me fooled
but baby I was onto you
just waiting for the perfect time
when the puzzle pieces came unglued

once you started squirmin'
I started a learnin'

(chorus)
