Lloyd Cole And The Commotions - Rattlesnakes lyrics

Jodie wears a hat Although it hasn't rained for six days She says a girl needs a gun these days On account of all the rattlesnakes She looks like Eve Marie Saint In "On the Waterfront" She reads Simone de Beauvoir In her American circumstance She's less than sure if her heart has come To stay in San Jose And her neverborn child still haunts her 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 obvious despite herself She looks like Eve Marie Saint In "On the Waterfront" She says all she needs is therapy Yes, all you need is love is all you need Jodie never sleeps cause there are always Needles in the hay She says a girl needs a gun these days On account of all the rattlesnakes She looks like Eve Marie Saint In "On the Waterfront" As she reads Simone de Beauvoir In her American circumstance Her heart, 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
