Rattlesnake

(album: St. Vincent - 2014)

Follow the power lines back from the road
No one around so I take off my clothes
Am I the only one in the only world?
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Woah oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

I see the snake holes dotted in the sand
As if Seurat painted the Rio Grande
Am I the only one in the only world?
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, woah oh, oh oh
Woah oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Woah oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Sweating, sweating
No wind whipping behind me
Sweating sweating
No one will ever find me

The only sound out here is my own breath
And my feet stuttering to make a path
Am I the only one in the only world?

Is that the wind finally picking up?
Is that a rattle sounding from the brush?
I'm not the only one in the only world
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Woah oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh
Woah oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh

Running, running
Running rattle behind me
Running, running
No one will ever find me
Running, running
Running rattle behind me
Running, running
No one will ever find me
Sweating, sweating
Sweating rattle behind me
Running, running
No one will ever find me
Sweating, sweating
Sweating rattle behind me
Running, running
No one will ever find me
