Worm And The Rattlesnake
I wanna take you to the Garden of EdenWhere they play Duane Eddy not Bert WeedonWanna mingle with the riff raff and be a rebelSo echo the bass and turn up the trebleOh yeah, oh yeahI wanna smoke my cigarettes in peaceI wanna brush out the parting and comb in the greaseI wanna trade my tie for studs and bucklesAnd tattoo your name across my knucklesOh yeahI wanna tell the world she belongs to meI wanna carve the news in the bark of a treeA cupids heart with an arrow going through itThe stupid part is even then I knew she was wrong for meOh yeahI was as jealous as hell cause he was just a kidAnd he could walk on the waltzers like Jesus didHe said you try it, I said it's a piece of cakeBut I knew he knew, I was a worm not a rattlesnakeOh yeahThe summer rolled by like a white walled tyreThen the candyfloss became barbed wireSongtexteShe said, you're different you're not the sameYou're just a jew looking for a christian nameOh yeah, oh yeahThen they chased me through a booming cage of arksOh hissing blue Flash Gordon sparksWhere dodgems dance on clubbed iron feetKicking each other to death to the beatOh yeahHow come you still invade my dreamsYou belong in my Quiff Street fairground teensI don't even know if she's still aliveIf she is, she's probably married with five kids by nowOh yeahAnd I wonder if her husband carries a gunDid he throw away his life in a chicken runYou know I think she made a big mistakeShe should have fallen in love with the worm not the rattlesnakeOh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah Aus Songtexte Mania
