Rattlesnake Heart

from Say What You Want by Ruby Birds

/

lyrics

I want to break your fingers so you stop flipping through my history book
Because the things that you find on the pages are the things I'd rather you not have a look
You'll take anything to use against me and use what you find so you can knock me down
It's my fault for thinking that you'd want to know me and not look for ways to put me in the ground

So now I'm calling you Ms. Venom and I think you know that you fit the part
I swear but can't say for certain that you switched yours with a rattlesnake heart
Don't mind me up here on this chair while I do my best to avoid your bite
Fool me once and that one's on me but to get me twice well that's just not alright
And I don't want to sit here waiting for you to try and strike a second time

There's a reason things get left in the past and to dig them up I do not need your help
You think that you're some kind of detective and that trouble ain't gonna find itself
But to me I'd rather not take the effort to have such a reversing point of view
If it's all the same the next thing that I'll bury is every memory that I've made with you

So now I'm calling you Ms. Venom and I think you know that you fit the part
I swear but can't say for certain that you switched yours with a rattlesnake heart
Don't mind me up here on this chair while I do my best to avoid your bite
Fool me once and that one's on me but to get me twice well that's just not alright
And I don't want to sit here waiting for you to try and strike a second time

I'm looking forward to a time that you can do the same
You're gonna break your neck looking back that way
Time moves in one direction
How come you are the exception
I got no problem with reflection
Until you make it an infection
Unless you change your complexion
Well I've run out of affection

I'm looking forward to a time that you can do the same
