Rattlesnake - Live to Tape

[Verse 1] Hmm Losing touch in Tennessee Freedom's got the best of me Goddamn my opportunities Goddamn this easy livin' Gasping for the mountain air Crawling up the campus stairs My throne is an electric chair I'm stunned with indecision [Verse 2] Hmm Pray for upgrades on my soul Tearing through an open road Questioning my moral code And screaming at a windshield Knowing better all along Knowing all I know is wrong Throwing up my alcohol Am I making this a big deal? Ooh [Chorus] Oh my skull is just a big white house To some punk-ass kids from out of town They stay up late and talk real loud And sometimes I feel like kicking them out [Interlude] Ooh Ooh [Verse 3] Hmm Self absorbed most of the time Obsessed with sex and suicide The dreams of Texas girls gone by I lie like California Stumbling over all the states Mumblin' like a basket case "Oh, love is like a rattlesnake Before it bites it tries to warn ya" [Chorus] But my heart is just a little boy Holding hands like brand new toys Drunk on freedom, stuck on choice Just cooing for the rattle's noise [Verse 4] Hmm Out of town and two clicks past I found the Western diamondback It blocks my self-destructive path I laugh, it shakes its tail Says, "If you hurt all of your friends And disappear around the bend You bet, you come right back again And try to love though you may fail" [Outro] Ooh Ooh
