Rattlesnake Smile lyrics

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
