[Verse 1]
I'll tell 'em all the truth, for no secret lies this time
Once upon a world, way before your loss
So look out, I fear that they follow near
And in the courthouse, Kevin sentenced rope to neck

[Chorus]
They don't hear the serpent that burns your ear
Baby, look out!

[Verse 2]
Leave 'em well enough alone, it's no choice of yours to make
Guilty says the proof, this town has no room for you
So look out, I fear that they follow near
For from the gallows you'll swing for all the kids to see

[Chorus]
They don't hear the serpent that burns your ear
Or the coward that sits alone in your head with it
So baby, look up!

[Chorus]
They don't hear the serpent that burns your ear
Or the coward that sits alone in your head with it
So baby, look up!
[Interlude]
'Cause I'm so sorry that you could ever
I'm so sorry, for you, you'll never love again
