Lyrics Cobra (Sweet Shivers Album Sessions) - The Rocket Summer

Cobra (Sweet Shivers Album Sessions)

I drive for smiles to ditch the noise.
She drove me out of LA.
I parked at the Denton mini mall
Burning down on Christmas Day.
I feel I leave a track of fire flames where I go,
But they got me all wrong.
Baby, you scoff when you hear my name…
I’m gonna be your favorite song.
Maybe I’m different,
Baby, I’m a slithering black cobra yet
Just a rat to you.
Dispatch via tiny telephone,
Connect your ear to my ear.
Let me hear the world inside your head.
Is it sunny and clear?
But she got bigger, better things
To do than give you the time
Of day or night or an afternoon…
On hold the rest of your life.
Maybe I’m different,
Baby, I’m a slithering black cobra yet
Just a rat to you.
I’m probably the problem,
But I tend to thrive of this strange rebellion
Taking over.
