Lyrics

(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 longing 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 loving to touch  
  
Don't you know  
In the quiet of the night  
Is 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  
And 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  
Just like a centipede you've got  
A lot of lovin' to touch  
  
Don't you know  
In the quiet of the night  
Is 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  
And crawlin' like a centipede  
(Centipede)  
  
In the quiet of the night  
Is 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  
Is when the snake is in the crawlin'  
And the moon starts to glow then disappear  
(Like a centipede)  
When the time is really right  
Is when the centipede is crawlin'  
You'll be crying in the night  
So many tears  
And crawlin' like a centiped  
(Centipede)  
(Centipede)  
(Centipede)
