Jackie, Dressed In Cobras
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Look, we've seen this kind of thing before
Jackie flirts with cobras at the door
Don't leave your life inside a mirror
Flirt with glances
New Yor's sick, you've had your chances
Yes you've had 'em
Yes you've had 'em
Yes you've had 'em
On a train devouring the land
There's a kid going insane over her man
Insane over her man
Insane over her
Look we've seen this kind of thing before
Orchids hanging from the reverand's door
And if he hollers let him out
Because he's gonna shout
There's something in the way she moves
That shouldn't be allowed
Wrecked on the jungle floor
Jackie's dressed in cobras
Giving me ideas
What I need now is ideas
Look we've seen this kind of thing before
Vampires thrown across the ballroom floor
Mistake this bloodlust feast for dancing
New York City you've had your chances
Yes you've had 'em
Yes you've had 'em
Yes you've had 'em
On a train devouring the land
There's a kid going insane over her man
Insane over her man
Insane over her
Wrecked on the jungle floor
Jackie's dressed in cobras
Jackie's dressed in cobras
