Rattlesnake! Lyrics[Verse 1: Joe Brown]
God damn, holy diver
You made it right back to my bed
Manifested lips that whisper kiss
That whisper kiss
[Refrain: Gang Vocals]
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2: Joe Brown]
Pull the shades, pull the shades (I'm gutted)
Guilty, played, guilty, played (and lonely)
I admit you won't see me again
My end is desperately engaged
Dark, departed, hollow
You see I'm just a shadow
This ravenous beast is chasing shame
A shadow he remains
[Chorus: Dan Arnold, Joe Brown]
How will my voice carry tonight?
How do I look under these lights?
Shove my head into the grand ivory keys
Maybe this will teach me how to sing
[Verse 3: Joe Brown]
Fuck hope, I'm a terror
Heavyweight human disaster
I think I found love
But what's love?
When we can't be loved?
[Pre-Chorus: Joe Brown]
Burn, burn, burn it down
Icarus just hit the ground
To the youth that thought they could fly
I bottled up, just drank up and died
[Chorus: Dan Arnold, Joe Brown]
How will my voice carry tonight?
How do I look under these lights?
Shove my head into the grand ivory keys
Maybe this will teach me how to sing
[Bridge: Dan Arnold, Dane Poppin, Joe Brown]
Palest white
I'm blues and reds (blues and reds)
This patriot is long past dead
Palest white
I'm blues and reds (blues and reds)
This patriot is long past dead
[Breakdown: Joe Brown]
Forever ending
Remain but still gone
Oh god I fear the steel
Oh how I fear the steel
Forever ending
Remain but still gone
Oh god I fear the steel
Oh how I fear the steel
Burn
Burn
Burn
[Chorus: Dan Arnold, Joe Brown]
How will my voice carry tonight?
How do I look under these lights?
Shove my head into the grand ivory keys
Maybe this will teach me how to sing
[Outro: Joe Brown]
My end is desperately engaged
