It's a burnt note
Sticking to my coat
It's a strange world
You're trying to control
It's a harsh scorn
The sun lays on my arms
It's a dark hat
That's lower when I mourn
In your boots
You walk, one foot upon the tide
Under the moon
That talks Spanish to your strides
As I lay her down
Like a quilt upon your bed
When it all is lost
You'll understand this
It's a rattlesnake love
That got the best
It's a rattlesnake love
In my chest
And L.A.
Will put me in my grave
And they'll dance atop
I'll hear it all beneath
And a voice will clear
And the trumpet and the strings
And a wave will rear, and pull her out to sea
Before I lay her down
Like a quilt upon your bed
When it all is lost
You'll understand this
It's a rattlesnake love
That got the best
It's a rattlesnake love
In my chest
And we whisper
Timber as we fall
And the cars go off course
In my head, again
As I lay her down
Like a quilt upon your bed
When it all is lost
You'll understand this
It's a rattlesnake love
That got the best
It's a rattlesnake love
In my chest
