Snake-Eyed Shuffle

Snake-Eyed Shuffle
She danced like a storm with a venomous grin
Boots on the table, drink soaked in sin
Said she once married a man with a top
Now she beds devils just to drag ’em down She’s got a switchblade stare and a noose for charm
Knows how to smile while breaking your arm
that back alley gospel rolls off her tongue
Her laugh’s got the sound of a loaded gun Snake-eyed shuffle in the he of the night
She’ll kiss you once, then twist you tight
Ain’t no heaven where her boots have tread
Just lipstick stains and broken bedheads She lit up the bar like a Molotov vow
Said, “I ain’t salvation, just watch me now”
Every man thinks heat’ll tame that flame
‘Til she leaves ’em limping, forgettin’ their name Don’t ask her for truth—she’ll sell you a lie
And smile while you buy it, then wave goodbye Snake-eyed shuffle in the he of the night
She’ll kiss you once, then twist you tight
Ain’t no heaven where her boots have tread
Just lipstick stains and broken bedheads She don’t beg, she don’t plead
She don’t love—she feeds.
