Rattlesnake Smile

It's been a long time

Since I wore this rattlesnake smile

And a lotta my friends haven't seen it in quite a while

I feel my eyes rollin' deep inside my head

And there's a feeling of misconception in the air

Yeah, I'm startin' to see

Yeah, I do believe

I used to have a soft southern glowing face

I used to lead my heartaches away on the chase

When you get stung with the heart of a little child

Well, that's how you get that rattlesnake smile

You better keep your distance

In this tangled shape I'm in

Now no one had better touch me right now

In this cold-blooded thick skin

Oh I said you better run real fast

When you hear that rattlin' sound

Well, you better run real fast, man,

Or this one's gonna knock you down

I sit alone and try to shed this skin that I live in

Trying to clear my vision once again

Hah, well, I ain't no good to no one no how, not right now

'Cause I forgot to run myself and I got run down

Do I look like something you can put in a fuckin' cage?!

Come over here and gimme a kiss

Yeah, I'm startin' to see

Yeah, I do believe

Better keep your distance

From this tangled shape i'm in

Now no one had better touch me right now

In this cold-blooded thick skin

Better, well, well

Now I said you better run real fast

When you hear that rattlin' sound

Oh I said you better run real fast

Or this one's gonna knock you down

And I sit alone in the desert rain

With my tail in the air

Ohhhhhhh
