Rattlesnakes
Jodie wears a hat, although, it hasn't rained for six days
She says, "A girl needs a gun these days"
Hey, on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eva 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 never born child still haunts her
As she speeds down the free-way
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 Eva 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 Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
Her heart, her heart is like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says, "Ooh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment"
She says, "A girl needs a gun these days"
Hey, on account of all the rattlesnakes
She looks like Eva 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 never born child still haunts her
As she speeds down the free-way
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 Eva 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 Eva Marie Saint in "On the Waterfront"
As she reads Simone de Beauvoir in her American circumstance
Her heart, her heart is like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says, "Ooh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment"
