Rattlesnakes

[Verse 1]

Jodie wears a hat

Although it hasn't rained for 6 days

She says a girl needs a gun these days

Hey, on account of those rattlesnakes

On account of those rattlesnakes

[Chorus 1]

She looks like Eva Marie Saint

In "On the Waterfront"

She reads Simone de Beauvoir

In her American circumstance

[Verse 2]

She's less than sure if her heart has come

To stay in San Jose

And her never-born child haunts her now

As she speeds down the freeway

As she tries her luck with the traffic police

Out of boredom more than spite

She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard

She's oblivious despite herself

[Chorus 1]

She looks like Eva Marie Saint

In "On the Waterfront"

She says all she needs is therapy

All you need is love is all you need

[Verse 3]

Jodie never sleeps 'cause

There are always needles in the hay, hey

She says that a girl needs a gun these days

Hey, on account of the rattlesnake

Hey, on account of the rattlesnakes

[Chorus 1]

She looks like Eva Marie Saint

In "On the Waterfront"

She reads Simone de Beauvoir

In her American circumstance

[Chorus 2]

Her heart's like crazy paving

Upside down and back to front

She says, oh, it's so hard to love

When love was your great disappointment

[Outro]

All those rattlesnakes

She says that a girl needs a gun these days

A girl needs a gun these days

On account of those rattlesnakes

Hey, on account of those rattlesnakes
