lyrics
HEY COBRA
in a summer
you can touch
the sun that spills all over all of us
on a summer stretch
the sky that wavers always overhead
you can dance out of the way
or grab hold and shake
you can handle the haze
you can take a heavy shape
stay cool and full of fever
be young and free and love her
so cool and hey hey hey
hey cobra don't get run over
in a summer
you can crush
the heat that hovers over heavy heads
and on a summer sprawl
burning the new beginnings of us all
and you can dance out of the way
or grab hold and shake
you can handle the haze
you can take a heavy shape
stay cool and full of fever
be young and free and love her
so cool and hey hey hey
hey cobra don't get run over
stay cool and full of fever
be young and free and love her
so cool and hey hey hey
hey cobra don't get run over
