              Dm
Well, we're a mile under the ground
           Em
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no-one knows And no-one sees us
Because they're drinking themselves senseless

Chorus:
         Dm
And I'm writhing, and I'm writhing
Em                             Dm
And I'm writhing in the snake-pit

Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls
And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

Chorus:
And I'm writhing, and I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake-pit
