Hello Carroll, I can see where you are going with this write, and I believe you can work it up a little and have a good write.  I'd like to send you a sound byte via email that I wrote the music for and did a rough demo for J D Stenzel and Sarah Williams, both being the lyricists.  Though the idea may not be the same, their song may give you some ideas on approaching Serpents in Paradise.  Let me know if you would like to hear J D's and Sarah's song.  Good luck and best wishes,

Speak soon

Sure! I just finished watching a season of a show titled Dirty John. It inspired this write.

Should be on it's way, best wishes

Re titled dirty John/ Hope it works better?

Dirty John

Verse

Perhaps I’ve lost my perspective.

Let him get too close to me.

I let a serpent in my home

I don’t see what others see.

Pre chorus

First he got into my head.

Then into my bed.

Chorus

His eyes they mesmerize.

Promise me paradise.

Before I realize.

I believe his lies.

Dirty John.

Verse

They say he’s a chameleon

I don’t believe it’s true.

Give him a chance it’s all I ask.

In time you will love him too.

Pre chorus

First he got into my head.

Then into my bed.

Chorus

His eyes they mesmerize.

Promise me paradise.

Before I realize.

I believe his lies.

Dirty John.

Bridge

Wooed me with diamonds and gold.

Sold me on his lies.

My friends all tried to tell me.

Ignored their advice.

Verse

Perhaps I’ve lost my perspective.

Let him get too close to me.

I let a serpent in my home

I don’t see what others see

Pre chorus

First he got into my head.

Then into my bed.

Chorus

His eyes they mesmerize.

Promise me paradise.

Before I realize.

I believe his lies.

Dirty John.

Alternate bridge:

Turned me against family

You used me as your pawn.

It wasn't that long i found

All my money was gone.
