When you see a rattlesnake poised to strike, you do not wait until he has struck to crush him.

The Rattlesnake Trail
Got a hair shirt round my shoulder. got a cold stew in my spoon.
And Im falling on my head, lifting feet of lead ---
Now its got me baying at the moon.
Well, theres a race on for tomorrow. Im stretching out
For what might have been.
Going to come out from the night, got my second sight ---
Play rough --- you know what I mean.
Im going for the kill. Im going tooth and nail
Up that dusty hill --- on the rattlesnake trail.
Got the law laid down to the left of me. got the real world to the right.
Heading up through the middle with my cat and my fiddle ---
Yeah, looking for a fight.
Going to ride hard in bandit country --- on the blind side of the bend.
Keep my nose to the wind while the rabbits skinned ---
Bed down at the journeys end. (be a rattlesnake.)
Im going for the kill. Im going tooth and nail
Up that dusty hill --- on the rattlesnake trail.
The rattlesnake trail.
Im going on the rattlesnake trail.
Going to be with wolves in winter --- run in angry packs by day.
But when you give a dog a bone, he has to be alone ---
Growl, keep the other dogs away.
See that thin moon on the mountain. see that cold star in the sky.
Going to bring them down --- shake them to the ground ---
Put that apple in the pie. (be a rattlesnake.)
Im going for the kill. Im going tooth and nail
Up that dusty hill --- on the rattlesnake trail.

Heartbeats Skip, Love-Struck Daughers Wait
Heartbeats skip, love-struck daughters wait,
For their infatuations to arrive.
Heartbeats skip, love-struck daughters wait,
The atmosphere oozing a vivacious vibe.
Heartbeat skip, love-stuck daughters wait,
Lights dim, daughters gather like a tribe.
Heartbeats skip, love-struck daughters wait,
The music starts, the feeling hard to describe.
Heartbeats skip, love stuck daughters wait.
With pulsating sounds, the night becomes alive!

Must Be Love
(jon mcelroy/greg barnhill)
Sideways, cockamamie
The idea is just a little too brainy
That a fine girl like you would
Bumpety-bump with a midnight fool
I took the fall in a neon minute
You were there and I feel right in it
Uh-oh, it just hit me
The rattlesnake if love done bit me
Im goin down, getting dizzy
Cant get enough of your kissy, kissy
No cure, I dont want one
Oh baby, this must be love
Lunchtime and I eat a sandwich
I think of you and the world starts to vanish
Call you up from a cell phone
Smack in the middle of a blasting zone
You get me so excited
I cant wait for my fuse to be lighted
Uh-oh, it just hit me
The rattlesnake if love done bit me
Im goin down, getting dizzy
Cant get enough of your kissy, kissy
No cure, I dont want one
Oh baby, this must be love
You got me lost in a wonderland
Love songs played by a marching band
Lips like roses, skin like cream
Please dont wake me from this dream
Uh-oh, it just hit me
The rattlesnake if love done bit me
Im goin down, getting dizzy
Cant get enough of your kissy, kissy
No cure, I dont want one
Oh baby, this must be love

Crush On You
Im a zombie in the moonlight
Im sleepin when its daylight
I really should be alright
But Im feelin kinda uptight
Im messin with a neighbour
Who killed my amp and fender
He looked to sweet and tender
Its hard to tell his gender
Got coffee on the paper
My dogs an alligator
I want you now and later
I got a crush got a crush on you
Got a crush got a crush on you
Im rentin the wrong movie
Im laughin at the wrong guy
Im drivin on the wrong side
My brain is gettin cock-eyed
The flag is never chequered
Cant find my f-beat records
God, give a little lovin
The moneys in the oven
Got dead flies in my scotch with ice
My talents always vaporize
I want your bird of paradise
I got a crush got a crush on you
Got a crush got a crush on you
Crush! crush! we got a good thing goin on
Crush! crush! such a good thing goin on
Im freezin in the summer
Im sweatin in the winter
No middle in the centre
No colours in the printer
No treatment at the pharmacy
No lessons learned from history
No future in the factory
No meaning in the poetry
No changin in the weather
No elvis in the leather
I want you now or never
I got a crush got a crush on you
Got a crush got a crush on you

Rattlesnake Shake
Shes a sex machine
She keeps her engine hot
Her motor clean
Way she moves across the floor
The way she shakes her hips
And licks her lips
Come on there girl, wontya shake that thing
(chorus)
Doing the rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
Make my body ache
Rattlesnake shake
Shake, shake, shake
Rattlesnake shake
Its all I can take
Shes got sassy class
Bring you to your knees
When she shakes her ass
Shes a voodoo, voodoo child
Just one look will drive you wild
Slides through the night
With a vipers smile
Come on there girl, wontcha shake that thing
(chorus)
Sexy motion, just take my time
The way she moves her lips
Up and down my spine
Got the rattle
Snake wants to spit
Call 9-7-6 and let my hand do the rest

Rebirth of a leaf
When I was brown, snails had crush.
When I was green, goats had crush.
In my yellow, the white ants
And in my skeleton, worms
Had crush. Germs made me salts
For which the roots had their crush.
I shall be reborn to be a leaf
Which will not be the same leaf.

When I Had a Crush On You
When I had a crush on you,
You acted as if I did not exist.
You persisted to avoid my advances.
Some of them were innocently delivered.
When I had a crush on you.
You wanted to play hard to get.
At least that is how I interpreted it!
As you intentionally flirted with others.
When I had a crush on you...
You toyed with my emotions.
And put me through the best tests,
I have ever yet from anyone else I've met.
When I had a crush on you,
The last thing I expected...
Was to hear you say to me, 'I do'.
And ever since marriage has happened to us...
I find myself rushing to the door.
After fussing and cussing in a rage,
Pacing the floor.
Wondering 'where' you kept your fangs,
And 'how' did that monster I see now...
Every other day,
Manage to stay away from my view!
When I had a crush on you!

Crush On You
You found out
Kick it
You found out i've got a crush on you
You must have heard it from my best friend
She's always talking when she should be listening
Can't keep a secret to save her life
But still I trusted her with all I had inside
I never knew a rumour could spread so fast
But now the word is out all over town
That i'm longing for you
How did you know cos I never told
You found out i've got a crush on you
No more charades my heart's been displayed
You found out i've got a crush on you
Maybe I was the one who left a trace
Was there a message written on my face
Were my emotions so easily read
That you could know my thoughts before a word was said
Was it my eyes that let you know I had control
Because the way you moved was so self-assured
You knew I would surrender
How did you know cos I never told
You found out i've got a crush on you
No more charades my heart's been displayed
You found out i've got a crush on you
Kick it
One time
Get it up
Get down
How did you know cos I never told
You found out
No more charades my heart's been displayed
You found out
How did you know cos I never told
You found out i've got a crush on you
No more charades my heart's been displayed
You found out i've got a crush on you
You found out i've got a crush on you
You found out i've got a crush on you

Time Of Disturbance
The best is, in war or faction or ordinary vindictive
life, not to take sides.
Leave it for children, and the emotional rabble of the
streets, to back their horse or support a brawler.
But if you are forced into it: remember that good and
evil are as common as air, and like air shared
By the panting belligerents; the moral indignation that
hoarsens orators is mostly a fool.
Hold your nose and compromise; keep a cold mind. Fight,
if needs must; hate no one. Do as God does,
Or the tragic poets: they crush their man without hating
him, their Lear or Hitler, and often save without
love.
As for these quarrels, they are like the moon, recurrent
and fantastic. They have their beauty but night's
is better.
It is better to be silent than make a noise. It is better
to strike dead than strike often. It is better not
to strike.

Crush
This been best time I have with you
No matter what I didn’t want to come off
The roller coaster and stay with you
Why do I love you so much?
I get you all your jokes and what you say
Other times I don’t get you
I finally realized why I can’t set you free
It's because what happen between us and
It been amazing time ever
Crush
You and me
Forever and always
The memories is so amazing and
I don’t want to forget it
Even through you been a jerk
Every time I get near you and get hurt
I don’t mind and want you more and more
Crush
We have our ups and downs
I feel like our piece of our heart come together perfectly and
That we are meant to be
This faith we see other each again and
Keep bumping in each other
Crush
Right now, right here together with you baby
Holding you in my arms forever
I feel like you are only guy right now
You make ever guy don’t like me because
You are jealous if I date them and
You need to learn to not to be jealous
Crush
As times fly, I’m losing my chances to grab another guy and
Hold on to him, but I didn’t do it because
I’m worry what you going do if I date another guy
Baby, what can’t I say?
You make me want to hold on you forever and
Wait until you give me another chance
I don’t care if I'm wasting my time
All I need is you baby
I feel like you are on top of my world and
I need to stop making you jealous and
Talk to you already

Kill Me With Your Kiss
Once is all it takes to get that toxic addiction..
I wanna feel your kiss, just crush me,
And break me apart.
That addictive taste always gets my heart
And won’t let me escape,
Blow that kiss that leaves me gasping
One more time.
Let me feel that lighting, strike me,
And knock me out
She broke off the addiction and took off
I wanna feel your game, just crush me,
And break me down.
She got messed up downtown
And addicted to drugs,
Blow that kiss that gets me dehydrated
One last time.
Let me feel those lips, light me,
And burn me down
I wasted all of my life
To feel your kiss, just crush me,
And disintegrate me
Sher wanted to get me again with that kiss
And kill me,
Blow that kiss that leaves me thirsty
And restrain my mind.
Let me feel that kiss, contaminate me,
And take me down

Rattlesnake Shake
Written by peter green.
Baby, if you got to rock
I got to be your rockin horse
Baby, think youd like to roll
Maybe your diggin it more
Theyre shakin the world
When its time to crash
But when I get home tonight
I guess I got to shake myself
You need some love
You must have the blues
Aint but the one thing
A good man can do
He do the shake
The rattlesnake shake
Man, do the shake
Yes, and jerk away the blues
Now, jerk it
Break:
Now, I know this guy
His name is mick
Now, he dont care when he aint got no chick
He do the shake
The rattlesnake shake
Yes, he do the shake
And jerks away the blues
Now, jerk it

To Wait Is A Pleasure
To wait for a baby;
To wait for an event;
To wait for a result.
Anything to wait for
With love and hope nourishes.
To wait for surgery;
To wait for a verdict;
To wait for an arrest.
Anything to wait for
With hate and dread worries.
Receive when it comes.
Let it go when it slips.
Don’t wait for a fortune,
Which is a prostitute.
Wait if it gives pleasure.

Enjoy and shout
Before you act, listen.
Before you react, think.
Before you spend, earn.
Before you criticize, wait.
Before you pray, forgive.
Before you quit, try… Earnest Hemingway
Time is an essence
Hardly can you wait for chance
Think for a while and it is gone
The works has to be done
No room to criticize
But yes scope to improvise
But if you wait
It may seal your fate
Time should not run out
There won't be then anything to talk about
You may try to learn
It may add only concern
If you wait for success
It may deny you the access
Time and tide wait for none
You are the master so strike as one
Shape the destiny
With the grace from almighty
If you have will power and strong resolve
You are sure to sail through and solve
You are the sailor
And you are the jailor
Keep all prisoners out
Have free mind cell to enjoy and shout

Crush em
Enter the arena and hit the lights
Step up now youre in for a ride
This is war, aint no fun and games
We get it up, you go down in flames
Party time, going down
You better not mess us around
The stakes are rich, take a hit or stay
The price is high, someones gonna pay
Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way Im coming through
Roll the dice dont think twice
And we crush, crush em
Looking for trouble, now youve found it
Youre a drum and were gonna pound it
Last one standing wins the fight
Hear us scream and shout all night
Down on the floor and eat the grit
This is gonna hurt a little bit
Heads I win, tails you lose
Out of my way Im coming through
Roll the dice dont think twice
And we crush, crush em
Now we lay you down to rest
Youll never be more than second best
Step inside youre in for a ride
And we crush, crush em
Dont need reason, dont want names
Just a john doe to put to shame
Step aside let me explain
The name of the game is pain
Now weve found you
Were gonna pound you
Were gonna beat you
Gonna defeat you
Were gonna bust you
Were gonna crush you
Were gonna crush em

You got your spice

You just can't wait for a picnic in Spring

For a little piece of cake in the night time yeah
You wait and wait you can't wait any longer
