[Verse 1]
Watch for vipers and poison snakes
Healing fingers make no mistakes
Grabbing hands that pull your hair
Stealing everything that's there, everything

[Verse 2]
Restless widow in the dark
Carelessly looks for a spark
Near the trap, fate rears its head
No hesitation, victim dead

[Chorus]
Just from the start, it's the end
And it's all the same in the end
It's all the same in the end

[Verse 3]
Spider moving up your wall
To the ceiling, he slowly crawled
Weaves a web above your bed
Egg that cracks falls on your head

[Verse 4]
And it's all the same
It's all the same
No hesitation, victim dead

[Chorus]
Just from the start, it's the end
It's all the same in the end
It's all the same in the end, oh!

[Outro]
No wrong no right or guilt admission
It's all the same
You've been bitten
You've been bitten
You've been bitten

One of the biggest rock bands out of Seattle, Soundgarden was formed in 1984 by singer and rhythm guitarist Chris Cornell, lead guitarist Kim Thayil, and bassist Hiro Yamamoto. Matt Cameron became the band’s full-time drummer in 1986, while bassist Ben Shepherd became a permanent replacement for Yamamoto in 1990. While one of the creators of the Grunge alternative rock and the first to sign to a major label, they only rose to stardom once the genre was popularized by Nirvana, Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains in the early 90s. After achieving great success with 1994’s Superunknown, the band decided to call it quits three years later due to internal squabbles. Eventually they reunited in 2010, releasing new album King Animal two years later. Frontman Chris Cornell committed suicide in a Detroit hotel room on May 17, 2017. He was 52 years old.
