Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 There’s a bite in her kiss, venom sweet as sin Gospel on her lips but a viper within She’ll pray for your soul while she breaks your skin Forgive me Lord, I’m fallin’ again Pre-Chorus Cross on the wall swings side to side Every time she lies and calls it divine Chorus Rattlesnakes and rosaries Wrapped around my heart Faith and poison wrestlin’ Pullin’ me apart I’m dyin’ for her mercy Livin’ for her touch Rattlesnakes and rosaries I love her too much Verse 2 Halo in her hair made of cigarette smoke Says she’ll change, but that’s a tale of folk She’s a scripture twisted into a stroke Of a pen that God Himself revoked Pre-Chorus A serpent’s charm in Sunday shoes She’ll save your soul just to watch you lose Chorus Rattlesnakes and rosaries Wrapped around my heart Faith and poison wrestlin’ Pullin’ me apart I’m dyin’ for her mercy Livin’ for her touch Rattlesnakes and rosaries I love her too much Bridge (big instrumental rise) Strike fast, baby—sink your teeth I’ll bleed out ‘fore I ever leave Yeah I’d trade heaven for one more night With those fangs and candlelight Breakdown (whispered / half-sung) Oh I know she’s the death of me… But hell’s too dull to let her be Final Chorus Rattlesnakes and rosaries Tangled with desire I’ll take the venom every time To feel that holy fire If love’s a sin, then punish me I’m already out of luck Rattlesnakes and rosaries God help me — I’m stuck Outro She’ll say amen Then strike again And I’ll still let her in
