Rattlesnakes Smell Like Split Cucumber - Califone

Tear the corners off your 20 dollar bills

And paste them to the swimmers shoulders

Save your spilling, shorthand and black thread

My side was aching low, we’re idiots again

Comfort’s made of glass

All along the fault

Ripe enough to rain

Mercy waits to let you lie

It’s not far to lean

Just enough to speed

Curb, hit running warm

Too close to ever see

Waiting station reds, shift down into clear

Shake the lead off your hands

Sawdust mouthing, roman axes way

Tender crazed, the storm rolls down your spine

Comfort’s made a mess

All along the fault

Ripe enough to rain

Mercy waits to let you lie

It’s not far to lean

Just enough to speed

Curb, hit running warm

Too close to ever see
