Cobra

Cobra comes up, next to me

Anywhere he goes, he's silently

How do you take speaking so much?

How do you live without a lover’s touch?

Dale always says it’s easy

I’m hooked on four like one, two, three

I got them moves, declared to me

You need to listen cause I guarantee you’re for sure

Now I know I’ve been movin’ too much

I’m gonna live for my hottie’s touch

How do you take him speaking so much?

How do you live without a lover’s touch?

Covered in charcoal, head to toe

Sticky, stick charcoal, I want you to know

How I long till I get these off

They’re so convenient but at such a cost

King I go out to plead

Sticky, sticky warmth, come and rush to me

I want to know, I want to see

There’s life for me

Oh how I long till I get these off

They’re so convenient but at such a cost

I know somebody, yes, I know someone

Who loves to wait, loves to wait for the policeman to come

I know somebody, yes, I know them well

And I’m aware of the thought they call ringing the bell

Four on the floor and four in the air

I’m drinkin’ cold, cold lightning with the bugs in my hair

I knew a partner, yes, I knew his house (now)

I know somebody, yes, I know someone

Who likes to wait, likes to wait for the policeman to come

I know somebody, yes, I know them well

And I’m aware of the thought they call ringing the bell

Four on the floor and four in the air

I’m drinkin’ cold, cold lightning with the bugs in my hair

I knew a partner, yes, I knew his house

Why do my toes always feel so cold?

How come? How come? How come?

Why’s all the soap always burn like a rope?

How come? How come? How come?

When I see your reflection, it always frightens me

So strong that I can hardly speak

How come?

Mixed up potion, the summer’s ocean

I feel I’m swimming in tannin lotion

Too many car chairs, and not enough leads

How come? How come? How come?

Thank you for all the sleep

So I know the spark’s aside

Stuff that keeps me clean

Stuff that helps me breathe

The lamps, the lights, the kerosene

Beautiful, two gardenias spring

How come?

Why does all the soap always burn like the rope?

How come? How come? How come?

Why’s all my toes always seem so cold?

How come? How come? How come?
