Thanks For The Venom - Hollerado

Met you in a dark town, I was living under a stone

In the desert of my mind it was night and I was alone

You took me to the cold black top, you laid me flat on my back

And you slithered as I shivered 'til the sun it rose

And my muscles relaxed

Oh, we could be friends

But you are a rattle snake

Thanks for the venom

Oh, we could be friends

But you are a rattle snake

(You are a rattle snake!)

You, you are a rattle snake

You told me that your name was Legs and you hated the irony

Soon I moved into your place

And we talked about getting some cats

'Til we came home on a Saturday night, our cats were your snack

And I watched just how your jaw bone grinds

Swore I’d never go back to you

Oh, we could be friends

But you are a rattle snake

Thanks for the venom

Oh, we could be friends

But you are a rattle snake

(You are a rattle snake!)

You, you, you are a rattle snake

When the daylight is getting low

I look right into your eye of fear

All that I’m letting go

When I get out of here

By the end of that summer I had crawled back to your kitchen floor

Covered in the feather and bones of all the meals before

And you yelled about the dirty dishes I had left in your sink

And your fangs found my flesh

Before I had one second to think about it

Oh, you were my friend, we had a simple love

As simple as nature gets

Oh, we could be friends, we had a simple love

But you are a rattle snake

Oh, you were my friend

But you are a rattle snake

(You are a rattle snake!)

Thanks for the venom

Oh, you were my friend

But you are a rattle snake

(You are a rattle snake!)

You, you, you are a rattle snake
