The Green Pajamas
Rattlesnake Kiss
Beneath the desert sky I see the night awakening
I feel the prick of fear and I think I hear the shaking
(And it feels like this)
I want to feel the poison spread upon my skin like lotion
I want to jump into the deep part of her venom ocean
(And it goes like this)
You meet the viper
(And you hear the hiss)
It strikes the dove
(And it feels like this)
Then you're inside her
(It's a rattlesnake kiss)
It's the serpentine love
The viper sheds her skin and my little head is swimming
I wait to feel the fangs as the moon it hangs there grinning
(And it goes like this)
You meet the viper
(And you hear the hiss)
It strikes the dove
(And it feels like this)
Then you're inside her
(It's a rattlesnake kiss)
It's the serpentine love
