Lullabies For Rattlesnakes

Step back, careful, you know what i could do.

After eighteen years, your suspicion is showing through.

I'm a firecracker popping; when i'm on, i'm off, the border of strange.

Bet you money, honey, come tomorrow that i'm not gonna change.

I'll be singing lullabies for rattlesnakes,

Taking chances i shouldn't take,

Be rattle-ing the hive from the inside out,

And dancing in shadows of a doubt.

I'll be singing lullabies for rattlesnakes,

Making trouble i shouldn't make,

Be knocking on the cage going "let me in,"

Exactly how i have always been.

Lean in, closer, you know you're curious.

How's a time bomb look, when it's time for it to combust.

I'm an elevator crashing to the ground, i was enjoying the view.

I met disaster, passed 'er, and i won't be playing safer for you.

You, can say, i'm much, too much,

'cause i'm a how instead of what.

(bv: i'll be singing lullabies... )

The way i'm jerkin' the chain, too much is never enoooough...
