The New Pornographers - Jackie, Dressed in Cobras

Look we've seen this kind of thing before
Jackie threads with cobras at the door
Don't live your life inside arrow
Filled with glances, New York City
You've had your chances, yes you've had 'em
Yes you've had 'em, yes you've had 'em

On a train, devouring the land
There's a kid going insane over her man
Insane over her man, insane over her

Look we've seen this kind of thing before
Orchids hanging from the reverend's door
And if he hollers let him out, 'cause hes gonna shout
She's something and the way she moves
Just shouldn't be allowed, oh

Wrecked on the jungle floor
Jackie's dressed in cobras
Giving me ideas
What I really need now is ideas

Look we've seen this kind of thing before.
Vampires float across the ballroom floor
Mistake this bloodlust feast for dancing
New York City, you've had your chances
Yes you've had 'em, yes you've had 'em
Yes you've had 'em

On a train devouring the land
There's a kid going insane over her man
Insane over her man, insane over her

On a train devouring the land
There's a kid going insane over her man
Insane over her man, insane over her

On a chain devouring the light
There's a kid going insane over her man
Insane over her man, insane over her

Wrecked on the jungle floor, Jackie's dressed in cobras
Wrecked on the jungle floor, Jackie's dressed in cobras
Wrecked on the jungle floor, Jackie's dressed in cobras
