Tori Amos - Rattlesnake Lyrics
(Clark/Cole) Lloyd Cole & The Commotions - from Rattlesnakes (1984) Jodie wears a hat although it hasnt rained for six days she says a girl needs a gun these days hey 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 shes 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 shes obvious despite herself she looks like Eve Marie Saint in on the waterfront she says all she needs is therapy yeah all you need is, love is all you need Jodie never sleeps cause there are always needles in the hay she says that a girl needs a gun these days hey 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, hearts like crazy paving upside down and back to front she says ooh, its so hard to love when love was your great disappointment
