¡DOS!
Lady Cobra
Song Meaning
The message for this song in the ¡Dos! deluxe lyric book is: "Drive up this road, hang a left, then go down down down. Blackout & take your hands off the wheel."
Fan interpretation: "A new temptress has come into the narrator's life, and at this point, he can't get enough of her. She's absolutely uncontrollable, and he loves that. 'Lady Cobra\ has shown him things that have fascinated and captivated him, and has complete control over him. He can't explain his feelings in any other way besides that he wants to be her friend."
Fan interpretation: "I don't actually think this song is literally about an affair with Lady Cobra - that's way too obvious. I think it's about how she appeals to the narrator in a platonic way because her recklessness is intoxicating, making him feel like he's younger and in good company. Most other adults aren't willing to 'black out' and 'take their hands off the wheel,' after all."

Lyrics
Well I met a girl named Lady Cobra
Her black heart beats crimson and clover
She gives me chills and fever blisters
She’s serving spells and voodoo shakes
Well she just wants to get me high
Stick a needle in my eye
Reeks like hell, lost in temptation
Lovin' on my inner demons
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just to be your friend
Cuddle with up me real tight
Talk to me by candlelight
Do you wanna play a game of Twister
Like a dirty old man with a babysitter?
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just to be your friend
Well I don't want to make you cry
Cross my heart and hope to die
Drawing blood and lonely stars
Drinking piss for cheap guitars
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just to be your friend
Ah, I need a friend
Her black heart beats crimson and clover
She gives me chills and fever blisters
She’s serving spells and voodoo shakes
Well she just wants to get me high
Stick a needle in my eye
Reeks like hell, lost in temptation
Lovin' on my inner demons
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just to be your friend
Cuddle with up me real tight
Talk to me by candlelight
Do you wanna play a game of Twister
Like a dirty old man with a babysitter?
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just to be your friend
Well I don't want to make you cry
Cross my heart and hope to die
Drawing blood and lonely stars
Drinking piss for cheap guitars
I don't want a suicide
I don't want this to end
I just to be your friend
Ah, I need a friend
