Cobra Tattoo Lyrics
Cobra Tattoo - The Mountain Goats
Written by：John Darnielle
Sun just clearing the tree line
When my day begins
Slippery ice on the bridges
Northeastern wind coming in
You will bruise my head
I will strike your heel
Drive past woods of northern pine
Try not to let go of the wheel
Dream at night
Girl with the cobra tattoo
On her arm
It's head flaring out like a parachute
Prisms in the dewdrops
In the underbrush
Skate case sailors' purses
Floating down in the black needle rush
Higher than the stars
I will set my throne
God does not need abraham
God can raise children from stones
Dream at night
Girl with the cobra tattoo
And try to hear
The garbled transmissions coming through
