Liner Notes

Still missing a bridge. Third song to be written for a rock opera. Third song in, I’m less embarrassed about this idea than I was.

Lyrics

Snakeskin Heart
Verse 1
I used to know a dancer named Delilah
Met her one night at the Mason Jar
She had that tattoo of a bottle of poison
And a cold, cold snakeskin heart

Prechorus
She said “Hey pretty boy, you looking at me?”
And we ended up in some redneck bar
We drove to Vegas in the middle of the night
Seats reclined, sleeping in the car

Chorus
She had a Mazda RX-7
Great White on the stereo
Cigarette burns on her leopard seats
And ooooh, she had a snakeskin heart
Her cold, cold snakeskin heart

Verse 2
A knock on the door 18 years later
A pretty young blonde standing in the sun
She said “I think you might be my father”
The DNA lab says you’re the one

Prechorus
She asked if I remembered Delilah
From a joint called The Candy Store
She had a tattoo of a poison bottle
And kinda looked like Lita Ford

Chorus
She had a Mazda RX-7
Great White on the stereo
Cigarette burns on her leopard seats
And ooooh, she had a snakeskin heart
Her cold, cold snakeskin heart
