Charming Hostess - The Procedure and King Cobra

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/1998595
Not ashamed to think i did the right thing
(i'm not ashamed to think)
Not ashamed to think of my flesh creating ours
But for now, it's smoke more tar less taste
Then i'll call the king of snakes to bite me once again

Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing

Now i can't stop thinking, about some future eyes and hands
And i can't stop knowing, that you don't care to listen
I wanted just words with you about a different place, but it's too late
I call the king of snakes to bite me once again

Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing
Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing

A proud child's strength could change the way the world is
With two brown eyes, one of mine and one of his
I have cried, i know i'd love my child
Now i call king cobra down to bite me once again
Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing
Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing

Another place, another time (x10)
(two brown, two brown, two brown eyes)
Another place, another
Another place, another time
Another place, another time
Another place, another time
(one is, one is, one his, one mine)
Another place, another time
Another place, another time
Another place, another time
Another place, another
(two brown, two brown, two brown eyes)
Another place, another time
Another place, another time
Another place, another time
Another place, another
(one his, one mine, two brown eyes)

Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing
A proud child's strength could change the way the world is
With two brown eyes, one of mine and one of his
I have cried, i know i'd love my child
Now i call king cobra down to bite me once again

Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing
Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Forty ouncers and froot loops
Smoke a camel, drink coffee
Wishing to be somewhere else, but i did the right thing

"The Procedure and King Cobra" by Charming Hostess is a haunting and introspective song that delves into themes of regret, sacrifice, and the complexities of parenthood. The lyrics express a sense of resignation and acceptance of past decisions, as the protagonist reflects on the consequences of their actions. The imagery of smoking tar, drinking coffee, and calling upon the king of snakes adds a sense of foreboding and unease to the song. The repetition of the chorus, "Forty ouncers and froot loops, smoke a camel, drink coffee, wishing to be somewhere else, but I did the right thing," emphasizes the conflicting emotions and internal struggle of the narrator. The mention of a "proud child's strength" and the longing for a different outcome further highlight the weight of the narrator's choices. Overall, "The Procedure and King Cobra" is a poignant and thought-provoking piece that captures the complexities of human emotions and the sacrifices made in the name of love and responsibility.
