Artist: 10,000 Maniacs Song: Pit Viper Album: Hope Chest: The Fredonia Recordings 1982-1983 Release Year: 1990 Lyrics: In the cruel garrison of affection If worth of lore is true You know the face of a temptress Pit viper A witch or enchantress Pit viper With the malign venom of conceit She tries Civil men Conceal fear Misgivings When night entreats them A greater chill sustains Stains her Darkness Shall not inhibit death blow Know this skin does not restrict her Tear and shed the coil Fall of garland leaves Below the soil

You bet! This is definately my favorite 10,000 Maniacs video. I also love "These Are Days", but Pit Viper is just so raw. In a strange way, it reminds me of an awkward dream. There's just something surreal about it that I love.

Good deal. I had no idea there was a video from the fredonia recordings. Thanks for posting. I would have liked to see a video from the Pynchon inspired My Mother The War.

I think that the opening scene (the mugging) was filmed on Potters Alley in Jamestown, and the scene with Natalie running down the stairs is alongside The Little Theatre on Pine St. It's cool to see old familiar hometown streets in the video. I wished that had filmed more videos in Jamestown.
