Cobra (Sweet Shivers Album Sessions) - The Rocket Summer

I drive for smiles to ditch the noise.

She drove me out of LA.

I parked at the Denton mini mall

Burning down on Christmas Day.

I feel I leave a track of fire flames where I go,

But they got me all wrong.

Baby, you scoff when you hear my name…

I’m gonna be your favorite song.

Maybe I’m different,

Baby, I’m a slithering black cobra yet

Just a rat to you.

Dispatch via tiny telephone,

Connect your ear to my ear.

Let me hear the world inside your head.

Is it sunny and clear?

But she got bigger, better things

To do than give you the time

Of day or night or an afternoon…

On hold the rest of your life.

Maybe I’m different,

Baby, I’m a slithering black cobra yet

Just a rat to you.

I’m probably the problem,

But I tend to thrive of this strange rebellion

Taking over.
