Jodie wears a hat although it hasn't rained for six days
She says: "A girl needs a gun these days
Hey, on account of all those rattlesnakes
On account of all those rattlesnakes"

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in 'On The Waterfront'
She reads Simone de Beauvoir 'Her American circumstance'
She's less than sure if her heart has come to stay in San Jose
And her neverborn child haunts her now as she speeds down the freeway

As she tries her luck with the traffic police
Out of boredom more than spite
She never finds no trouble, she tries too hard
She's obvious despite herself

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in 'On The Waterfront'
She says all she needs is therapy
All you need is, love is all you need

Jodie never sleeps 'cause there are always needles in the hay
She says: "A girl needs a gun these days
Hey, on account of all rattlesnakes
Hey, on account of the rattlesnakes"

She looks like Eve Marie Saint in 'On The Waterfront'
She reads Simone de Beauvoir in 'Her American circumstance'
Her heart's like crazy paving
Upside down and back to front
She says:"Ooh, it's so hard to love
When love was your great disappointment"

Account of rattlesnakes
She says: "A girl needs a gun these days
Hey, on account of all
A girl needs a gun these days
Hey, on account of all rattlesnakes
On account of all rattlesnakes"
