I circle in the night
A vulture around your house
Turn off the porch light
Quiet as a mouse
I slip through your window
Break down your bedroom door
Nowhere for you to go
As I throw you to the floor
My shins pin your limbs
A hand across your mouth
Your eyes now recognize
As you yank the snake out
We slide across the room
Like a cobra and mongoose
That have finally found a truce
This is how we cut it loose
