Featuring Ben Clark

lyrics

Damn, in a flash I needed to smash
Dove in the dirt like and in-field catch.
But I got away safely.
Thought I left an impression
She aint talked to me lately.
Anyway, always a longer story
Especially when you got less guts than glory.
Nobody listens to a song that's boring.
But we'd still be proud to be the sound you're ignoring.
And it's gonna get gory when we go for it
So let your kisses happen inside the slower shit.
I can't get enough of this.
So let yourself be a little more devious.

If hell burns like that I'll take it
If she made it
Goodness gracious

If the devil don't know good she's Satan.
But she's kinda cute that way.
I don't know what to say, hey!

Baby when you're shakin' and you're movin' on the ground
I'm a rattlesnake baby, let me take you underground.
I want you to listen, get familiar with the sound.
I'm a rattlesnake baby, never kiss me on the mouth.

You don't wanna taste this venom right here.
Make you're eyes go blind,
Make the desert disappear.
Shed my skin and you can shed you're fear.
Let me know when the coast is clear.

I can hear you shakin' when you're movin' on the ground.
I'm a rattlesnake baby, rattlesnake baby.

Somethin' burnin' in the house.
Her eyes are on fire,
She's been lightin' it up to put it out.
And I don't know what she's talkin' about,
But the smile that she wears makes it hot
Like we're in the deep south.
She can't remember my name
Cuz at a house party everybody could be the same.
But in the darkness she lights up inside a picture frame.
Snaps her fingers, body into flame.
She could make a livin' on the raw shit,
for ya know it she could jump and a sucker gets his jaw bit.
She makes me feel like a misfit.
She told me "get a damn grip kid."

If hell burns like that I'll take it
If she made it
Goodness gracious

If the devil don't know good she's Satan.
But she's kinda cute that way.
I don't know what to say, hey!

Baby when you're shakin' and you're movin' on the ground
I'm a rattlesnake baby, let me take you underground.
I want you to listen, get familiar with the sound.
I'm a rattlesnake baby, never kiss me on the mouth.

You don't wanna taste this venom right here.
Make you're eyes go blind,
Make the desert disappear.
Shed my skin and you can shed you're fear.
Let me know when the coast is clear.

I can hear you shakin' when you're movin' on the ground.
I'm a rattlesnake baby, rattlesnake baby.

I merely begin. The only limitations set before me are those of my abilities. This process affords me the luxury to reflect upon my subconscious and learn about myself.
