Jethro Tull - The Rattlesnake Trail Lyrics
Got a hair shirt round my shoulder. got a cold stew in my spoon.And Im falling on my head, lifting feet of lead ---Now its got me baying at the moon.Well, theres a race on for tomorrow. Im stretching outFor what might have been.Going to come out from the night, got my second sight ---Play rough --- you know what I mean.Im going for the kill. Im going tooth and nailUp that dusty hill --- on 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.Going to ride hard in bandit country --- on the blind side of the bend.Keep my nose to the wind while the rabbits skinned ---Bed down at the journeys end. (be a rattlesnake.)Im going for the kill. Im going tooth and nailUp that dusty hill --- on the rattlesnake trail.The rattlesnake trail.Im going on the rattlesnake trail.Going to 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.)Im going for the kill. Im going tooth and nailUp that dusty hill --- on the rattlesnake trail.
