Rattlesnake

Follow the power lines back from the road

No one around, so I take off my clothes

Am I the only one in the only world?

I see the snake holes dotted in the sand

As if Seurat painted the Rio Grande

Am I the only one in the only world?

Sweating, sweating, no wind whipping behind me

Sweating, sweating, no one will ever find me

The only sound out here is my own breath

And my feet stuttering to make a path

Am I the only one in the only world?

Is that the wind finally picking up?

Is that a rattle sounding from the brush?

I'm not the only one in the only world

Running, running, running, rattle behind me

Running, running, running, no one will find me

Running, running, running, rattle behind me

Running, running, no one will ever find me

Sweating, sweating, sweating, rattle behind me

Running, running, no one will ever find me

Sweating, sweating, sweating, rattle behind me

Running, running, no one will ever find me
