Snakeskin Boots

(album: By Night - 2019)

Waiting on myself
Pressed up against the morning light
I'm looking in the mirror
And I know that shit ain't right
With this sunset and those fireworks
But this heartache survive
I'm howling at the moon
Like a rabid dog in the night

Then at the corner
I'll be waiting for you there
With black bags and a clown face
Just looking for your dead stare
Moves like Fred Astaire
Too quick now I'm here
I skipped through the city
Without toll or a fair

And I say DAMN!
Would you look at this?
Gone with an iron fist
Started with a shake and twist
But no, it's not so innocent
And I say DAMN!
Would you look at this?
Gone with an iron fist
Started with a shake and twist
But no, it's not so innocent

And I say DAMN!
HA! DAMN!
DAMN!
HA! DAMN!

You can tell by my alligator boots
Got the snake skin suit
With a top hat to boot
You can go and bleach your hair
But oh, we just don't care
And you can pray to the Devil
But Lords the only one there

And I say DAMN!
HA! DAMN!
DAMN!
HA! DAMN!

And all the walls are shaking
And my mind's earth quaking
And all the walls are shaking
And my mind's earth quaking

Damn, would you look at this?
Here it comes with an iron fist
Started with a shake and twist
But no, it's not so innocent
And I say DAMN!
Would you look at this?
Gone with an iron fist
Started with a shake and twist
But no, it's not so innocent

And I say DAMN!
HA! DAMN!
HA! DAMN!
HA! DAMN!

And all the walls are shaking
And my mind's earth quaking
And all the walls are shaking
And my mind's...
And all the walls are shaking
And my mind's earth quaking
And all the walls are shaking
And my mind's...
