Rattlesnakes (2026 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

Jodie wears a hat, although it hasn't rained for six days

She says a girl needs a gun these days, hey, on account of those rattlesnakes

On account of those rattlesnakes

[Chorus]

She looks like Eva Marie Saint

In "On the Waterfront"

She reads Simone de Beauvoir

In her American circumstance

Oh

[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 thе traffic police out of boredom more than spitе

She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard, she's oblivious despite herself

Oh

[Chorus]

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

Oh

[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]

She looks like Eva Marie Saint

In "On the Waterfront"

She reads Simone de Beauvoir

In her American circumstance

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]

Ooh

All those rattlesnakes

She says that a girl needs a gun these days, hey, oh, oh

A girl needs a gun these days, hey, on account of those rattlesnakes

Yeah, on account of those rattlesnakes
