The Rattlesnake Trail - Jethro Tull

However hair shirt 'round my shoulder

Got a cold stew in my spoon

And I’m fallin' on my head, liftin' feet of lead

Now it’s got me bayin' at the moon

Well, there’s a race on for tomorrow

I’m stretchin' out for what might have been

Goin' to come out from the night, got my second sight play rough

You know what I mean

I’m goin' for the kill, I’m goin' tooth and nail

Up that dusty hill, on the rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

Got the law laid down to the left of me

Got the real world to the right

Heading up through the middle with my cat and my fiddle, yeah

Looking for a fight

I’m gonna ride hard in bandit country

On the blind side of the bend

Keep my nose to the wind while the rabbit’s skinned

Bed down at the journey’s end, be a rattlesnake

I’m goin' for the kill, I’m goin' tooth and nail

Up that dusty hill, rattlesnake trail

I’m goin' on the rattlesnake

(Rattlesnake)

The rattlesnake trail

(The rattlesnake trail)

The rattlesnake trail

Gonna be with wolves in winter

Run in angry packs by day

But when you give a dog a bone, he has to be alone growl

Keep the other dogs away

See that thin moon on the mountain

See that cold star in the sky

Going to bring them down, shake them to the ground

Put that apple in the pie, be a rattlesnake

I’m goin' for the kill, I’m goin' tooth and nail

Up that dusty hill, on the rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail

The rattlesnake trail
