Album: White Paint
Met you in a dog town, I was leaving out of a store
In the desert of my mind, it was not, and I was alone
You took me to the cold black top, you let me fly on my back
And you still don’t know the shit until the story grows, and my muscles relaxed
Oh, we could be friends
But you are a rattle snake
Thanks for the venom
Oh, we could be friends
But you are a rattle snake
(You are a rattle snake!)
You, you are a rattle snake
You told me that your name was legs and hair, oh the irony
Soon I moved into your place, and we talked about getting some cats
Till we came home on a Saturday night, I’ll cancel your snack
And I watched just how you drop on grind, swear I’ll never go back to you
Oh, we could be friends
But you are a rattle snake
Thanks for the venom
Oh, we could be friends
But you are a rattle snake
(You are a rattle snake!)
You, you, you are a rattle snake
Went and did it all again, love
I was right into your eye of fear
I am letting go When I get out of here
By the end of that summer, I crawled back to your kitchen floor
Covered in the felons of bronze, or by the meals before
And you yelled about the dead addictions I left in your sink
And your fangs felt my flesh before I had one second to think about it Oh, you were my friend, we had a simple love
As simple as nature gets
Oh, we could be friends, we had a simple love
But you are a rattle snake
Oh, you were my friend
But you are a rattle snake
(You are a rattle snake!)
Thanks for the venom
Oh, you were my friend
But you are a rattle snake
(You are a rattle snake!)
You, you, you are a rattle snake
