Lyrics

baby cobra//heaven left me--sad and lonely--I'd forgotten--that the only--way for me to smile was to pour a drink--there's no one here that cares about what I think--and even if you do, oh well, it can't be understood--we'll stumble out the words and try to bond--cause silence always seemed to you so wrong--here we are awake, alive, alert, and in our prime--so let's all just have a good time--baby cobra--mind your business--oh your swaying beauty--and striking venom--it either makes me smile or pour a drink--you're never even here to hear what I think--and even if you do, oh well--it can't be understood--we'll stumble out the words and try to bond--cause silence always seemed to you so wrong--here we are awake, alive, alert and in our prime--so let's all just have a good time--weeping willows--line the dirt road--oh yes, William Faulkner--oh he probably plant those--but he only ever smiled when he was pouring a drink--and everyone I know still cares what he thinks--but even if you do, oh well, he can't be understood--well as for me I read absolom, absolom--but in the end it only made me feel dumb--here I am awake, alive, alert and in my prime--oh so maybe I'll try and read it some other time--oh but let's all just have a good time
