a rattlesnake shake  a rattlesnake shake  pursued like a wounded deer  branded inhumanity  crime controlled  wild instinct to stay alive  the morning that will never die  fire down below  deep in my mind  can't be denied  out of sight    like a rattlesnake shake  a rattlesnake shake  like a rattlesnake shake  a rattlesnake shake    when they set my skin on fire  last resort desire  I can't resist  the man they couldn't catch  is the man they couldn't hang  they'll spiteful kissed  balanced on the edge  inseminated death  skeletons left behind    by a rattlesnake shake  a rattlesnake shake  by a rattlesnake shake  a rattlesnake shake    blessed by the gods  which path will he take  visions of freedom  that never awake  they don't shoot him down  and they don't hang him up  but the rattlesnake's bite  and the sun burning black  a rattlesnake shake...
