| Met you in a dark town, I was living under a stone
|
| In the desert of my mind it was night and I was alone
|
| You took me to the cold black top, you laid me flat on my back
|
| And you slithered as I shivered 'til the sun it rose
|
| 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 you hated the irony
|
| Soon I moved into your place
|
| And we talked about getting some cats
|
| 'Til we came home on a Saturday night, our cats were your snack
|
| And I watched just how your jaw bone grinds
|
| Swore I’d 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
|
| When the daylight is getting low
|
| I look right into your eye of fear
|
| All that I’m letting go
|
| When I get out of here
|
| By the end of that summer I had crawled back to your kitchen floor
|
| Covered in the feather and bones of all the meals before
|
| And you yelled about the dirty dishes I had left in your sink
|
| And your fangs found 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 |
