Centipede Centipede
Your love is like a raging fire You're a snake that's on the loose The strike is your desire But, when the centipede is hot You're bound to feel the fire But, when the centipede is hot You're bound to feel the fire
I feel, oh yeah, a longin' for your touch Like you crawled into the bathroom window To give him all your love Like a centipede that's hot The fire is in your touch Just like a centipede you've got A lot of lovin' to touch
Chorus: Don't you know In the quiet of the night When the snake is in the crawlin' And the moon starts to glow, then disappear When the time is really right Is when the centipede is crawlin' You'll be crying in the night, so many tears I'm crawlin' like a centipede Centipede
You came to strike him with your love Like you crawled into the bathroom window To bite him with your love Like a centipede that's hot The fire is in your touch Like a centipede you've got A lot of lovin' to touch
Chorus
In the quiet of the night When the snake is in the crawlin' And the moon starts to glow, then disappear When the time is really right Is when the centipede is crawlin' You'll be crying in the night, so many tears I'm just crawlin' like a centipede Centipede
Your heart, oh, is full of strange desire In the heat of the summer's night, ah, centipede on fire When the centipede is hot, you're bound to feel the fire Like a beast about to strike, the centipede's on fire Don't you know
In the quiet of the night When the snake is in the crawlin' And the moon starts to glow, then disappear When the time is really right Is when the centipede is crawlin' You'll be crying in the night, so many tears
In the quiet of the night When the snake is in the crawlin' And the moon starts to glow, then disappear When the time is really right Is when the centipede is crawlin' You'll be crying in the night, so many tears I'm just crawlin' like a centipede Centipede Centipede Centipede
