Cobra Lyrics - Chocolate & Ice - My Morning Jacket

Cobra comes up next to me 

Anywhere he goes, he's silently 

How do you take speaking so much? 

How do you live without a lover's touch? 

Dale always says it's easy 

I'm hooked on four like one, two, three 

I got them moves, declared to me 

You need to listen cuz I guarantee you're for sure 

Now I know I've been movin' too much 

I'm gonna live for my hottie's touch 

How do you take him speaking so much? 

How do you live without a lover's touch? 

Covered in charcoal, head to toe 

Sticky, stick charcoal, I want you to know 

How I long till I get these off 

They're so convenient but at such a cost 

King I go out to plead 

Sticky, sticky warmth, come and rush to me 

I want to know, I want to see 

There's life for me 

Oh how I long till I get these off 

They're so convenient but at such a cost. 

I know somebody, yes, I know someone 

Who loves to wait, loves to wait for the policeman to come. 

I know somebody, yes, I know them well 

And I'm aware of the thought they call ringing the bell 

Four on the floor and four in the air 

I'm drinkin' cold, cold lightning with the bugs in my hair 

I knew a partner, yes, I knew his house (now) 

I know somebody, yes, I know someone 

Who likes to wait, likes to wait for the policeman to come. 

I know somebody, yes, I know them well 

And I'm aware of the thought they call ringing the bell 

Four on the floor and four in the air 

I'm drinkin' cold, cold lightning with the bugs in my hair 

I knew a partner, yes, I knew his house 

Why do my toes always feel so cold? 

How come? How come? How come? 

Why's all the soap always burn like a rope? 

How come? How come? How come? 

When I see your reflection, it always frightens me 

So strong that I can hardly speak. 

How come? 

Mixed up potion, the summer's ocean 

I feel I'm swimming in tannin lotion 

Too many car chairs, and not enough leads 

How come? How come? How come? 

Thank you for all the sleep 

So I know the spark's aside 

Stuff that keeps me clean 

Stuff that helps me breathe 

The lamps, the lights, the kerosene 

Beautiful, two gardenias spring 

How come? 

Why does all the soap always burn like the rope? 

How come? How come? How come? 

Why's all my toes always seem so cold? 

How come? How come? How come?
