I am the intoxicated serpent, I am the intoxicated woman,
I am intoxicated,
I am the intoxicated serpent, I am the intoxicated woman.

Instead of poison, nectar drips,
Instead of poison, nectar drips,
From my succulent lips,
From my succulent lips.
Trickle, trickle, trickle, life spills forth,
Trickle, trickle, trickle, life spills forth,
From my intoxicated eyes,
From my intoxicated eyes.
My dark tresses,
My dark tresses, when they sway,
The world’s body and mind dance,
The world’s body and mind dance,
I am intoxicated,
I am the intoxicated serpent, I am the intoxicated woman.

Hearing the music of another’s heart,
Hearing the music of another’s heart,
My love surges, my love surges,
I fear that the shame
I fear that the shame
Of my hopes won't vanish,
Alas, won't vanish.
Someone tell me, someone tell me,
How to hide the beat of my heart,
The beat of my heart.
I am intoxicated,
I am the intoxicated serpent, I am the intoxicated woman.
