Never look back, never look back, never look back, she's gone.
Can I take back, can I take back, can I take back what's wrong?
If I let you, would you hang on to the words that you long for?
It's a snake bite, just a small one, but lethal if left too long

A little late for all of us involved
A little take but hardly the windfall
A little shake all along the fault
A little late

You're preaching, we're seething, we'll answer the call
Without you, we all say, we'd be better off
If we let you would you drop off or drop the bomb?
Like a snake bite, even small, you're done and done.

Why do children pray when we don't believe in Gods?
Why do adults play with other people's lives?
We'll never know the answers and if we ever find
An explanation, there'll always be another question "why?"

Never look back, never look back, never look back, she's gone.
Can I take back, can I take back, could I take back my wrongs?
If I let you, would you hang on to the words in my song
It's a snake bite, just a small one, but the venom's all gone.
