Paroles : The Kingsnake & the Rattler
There's a kingsnake and a rattler in a battle to the death
Intertwined around each other somewhere deep inside my chest
It's a dance with deadly purpose in-between two mortal foes
And as long as I'm alive and kickin', 'round and 'round it goes
Well, that rattler, he's a liar, he's got poison on his tongue
With his venom in my veins, I don't care what I become
And the kingsnake wants to crush him with an iron force of will
He aims to swallow him up whole, but I don't think he ever will
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
Did you ever taste tequila and a half-remembered sin
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?
Well, that rattler makes his home inside the hollows of a heart
Down amongst the broken pieces of a world that falls apart
He could strike at any second, you might never know he's there
But if you ever get him buzzin', boys, you better just beware
The only thing in this old world that makes the rattler quake
Is the coming of the one they call the king of all the snakes
He's got truth around his belly, he's got judgment in his grip
But lately, that ol' rattler's gettin' good at givin' him the slip
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
Did you ever taste tequila and a half-remembered sin
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?
Hmm, hmm
I came across a painting on a lonely desert rock
By an artist long since dead who still can bid the stone to talk
And I asked myself again what lives within the heart of man
That made him paint the same two serpents that still circle in the sand
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
Have you ever drifted free on a painted desert wind
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?
Intertwined around each other somewhere deep inside my chest
It's a dance with deadly purpose in-between two mortal foes
And as long as I'm alive and kickin', 'round and 'round it goes
Well, that rattler, he's a liar, he's got poison on his tongue
With his venom in my veins, I don't care what I become
And the kingsnake wants to crush him with an iron force of will
He aims to swallow him up whole, but I don't think he ever will
Have you ever said a prayer even though you don't believe?
Have you ever been the reason that your loved ones have to grieve?
Did you ever taste tequila and a half-remembered sin
As the kingsnake and the rattler do battle once again?
Well, that rattler makes his home inside the hollows of a heart
Down amongst the broken pieces of a world that falls apart
