Rattlesnake by St. Vincent Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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?
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?
[Refrain]
Sweating, sweating, no wind whipping behind me
Sweating, sweating, no one will ever find me
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Running, running, running, rattle behind me
Running, running, running, no one will find me
Running, running, running, rattle behind me
Running, running, no one will ever find me
[Outro]
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
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?
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?
[Refrain]
Sweating, sweating, no wind whipping behind me
Sweating, sweating, no one will ever find me
[Verse 2]
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
[Refrain]
Running, running, running, rattle behind me
Running, running, running, no one will find me
Running, running, running, rattle behind me
Running, running, no one will ever find me
[Outro]
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
