lyrics

I told you I was a cowboy
and all along it was a ploy
but I never thought it would destroy
all the things we’d felt

you told me you were magic
and said you’d grant a single wish
I wanted you to show your tricks
but I never thought you’d tell

the two of us were taken in
and we fell in love with each other’s snake skin
what can you do what can you say
when the one you love has already
slipped away

don’t shake your rattle at me
you’re to blame as much as me
you saw the things you wanted to see
and I saw them just as well

I told you I was no good
you said you never would
and here I thought we understood
I guess you never can tell

the two of us were taken in
and we fell in love with each other’s snake skin
what can you do what can you say
when the one you love has already
slipped away

I thought that I’d be better
at seeing things the way they were
and still I’m not even sure
if I ever knew you well

and now you say you’re leaving
and I see the way that it must be
a kiss goodbye is not as sweet
but I wish you well

the two of us were taken in
and we fell in love with each other’s snake skin
what can you do what can you say
when the one you love has already
slipped away
