Fliptop Twister

[ladybug_archive]

Tweaked the lyrics of Fliptop Twister to fit Snakes in the Old West days. In doing so, I also discovered how the relationship ended. The girl really sounds like a femme fatale in part of the song, so I altered the last part to have her continuing to cheat on Snakes and he finally gets fed-up and breaks it off, even though he knows he'll be alone again.

Oooh, yes, perfect! :D

Yep, I always assumed the mattress of paper greens was a metaphor for rolling in money they won and that the trouble/fight happened soon after that because they were winning too much. The knuckle sandwich line in the second verse seems to support that since they were winning too much at the slots at that point, LOL.

LOL, I was about to ask why you changed the line about the Cokes and then the explanation showed up. Heh. I wonder if Snakes took to soda pop once he was in the modern day....

Yesss, I like the femme fatale angle very much.

Was the original narrator in the song cheating on the girl, though? I took the roaming line as that he couldn't sit still and had to keep moving on and maybe she wanted to settle down in one place, so they disagreed and parted ways because of that.
