Once upon another time
When angels ruled Mulholland Drive
Long before she left Los Angeles
Like roses on a black lapel
One by one they all just fell
Like stars into the hills of Beverly
It's just an illusion, smoke in the mirror, she'll disappear
Even the losin' is a red-lip souvenir
If the good all die young (die young)
She gon' slip a hangman's noose
Stealin' diamonds (diamonds)
In her snakeskin boots
If you ask her (if you ask her)
How she shook the devil loose
Boy, I'm faster (yeah, I'm faster)
In my snakeskin, snakeskin boots (ooh)
Snakeskin boots (ooh)
She's always on the move (ooh)
In her snakeskin boots (ooh)
Too cool for California
You fool, let her tug-o'-war ya
(Feels good, but she ain't good for ya)
Ooh-ooh-ooh
It's just an illusion, smoke in the mirror, she'll disappear
Even the losin' is a red-lip souvenir
If the good all die young (die young)
She gon' slip a hangman's noose
Stealin' diamonds (diamonds)
In her snakeskin boots
If you ask her (if you ask her)
How she shook the devil loose
Boy, I'm faster (yeah, I'm faster)
In my snakeskin, snakeskin boots (ooh)
Snakeskin boots (ooh)
She's always on the move (ooh)
In her snakeskin boots (ooh)
Go on, turn that horse around and keep on ridin', come on
Go on, turn that horse around and keep on ridin', come on now, baby
Ooh
Ooh
If the good all die young (die young)
She gon' slip a hangman's noose
Stealin' diamonds (diamonds)
In her snakeskin boots
If you ask her (if you ask her)
How she shook the devil loose
Boy, I'm faster (yeah, I'm faster)
In my snakeskin, snakeskin boots
If the good all die young (die young)
She gon' slip a hangman's noose (slip a hangman's noose)
Stealin' diamonds (diamonds)
In her snakeskin boots
If you ask her (if you ask her)
How she shook the devil loose
Boy, I'm faster (yeah, I'm faster)
In my snakeskin, snakeskin boots
(Go on, turn that horse around and keep on ridin') ooh
Snakeskin boots
(Go on, turn that horse around and keep on ridin') ooh
She's always on the move
(Go on, turn that horse around and keep on ridin') ooh
In her snakeskin boots
(Go on, turn that horse around and keep on ridin') ooh
