Rattle

Well, it ain't startin' up again, it's just the wind shakin' the last rain from the trees

A little muggy maybe, baby, open up your pores and let 'em breath

These are the best of times for lovers, or so they'd like you to believe

Whatever's blown our way has blown on by and it was never yours or mine to grieve

There's a place around the corner tailor-made for me as well as you

Not my first or second choice, but for a rainy evening, it'll do

The Stuff That Dreams Are Made On's what they named it back in 1962

Well, I expect they'll let me in again and wait until they get a load of you

You unravel when you travel

You get tangled when you talk

But I like 'em with a screw loose

Sos they rattle when they walk

So they rattle when they walk

Well, there's hidden words of wisdom in the worm within the wood

I did my best to read 'em, but it wasn't any good

From time to time, the gist of it'll hit me in a flood

Some mortals might deceive you, but I wouldn't if I could, oh, baby

Well, we're all worlds inside a world within a world and how you spin it ain't my call

Whether you be down and out or down for almost anything at all

We all need to keep our guards up when our backs are up against the wall

It wasn't me that sent you crashin' down, I wanna be the one to break your fall

You unravel as you travel

You get tangled when you talk

But I like 'em with a screw loose

So they rattle when they walk

You unravel when you travel

You get tangled when you try to talk

But I like 'em with a screw loose

Sos they rattle when they walk

Sos they rattle when they walk

Sos they rattle when they walk
