Alligator Blues | v1.3

[intro] Our past is not forgotten It clears the riverbanks of all that's rotten Our scales and underbellies Can simmer in a cauldron of green jelly Must get so lonely, so lonely Must get so lonely, so lonely in there It takes a lot of time To spot them crawl out of the slime And grab an unsuspecting victim To inflict a little "judgment of the wild" On an innocent child! You know they're in the alleys In the shadows in the valleys Where they wait 'til desperation settles in And makes reality obscure For an Alligator Our past is not forgotten It clears the riverbanks of all that's rotten Our scales and underbellies Can simmer in a cauldron of green jelly Must get so lonely, so lonely Must get so lonely, so lonely in there Must get so lonely, so lonely for an Alligator If something gets into their way They'll wait to strike another day So careful where you step at night 'Cause one false move and you might just end up their feast! With the greatest of ease! And each day you will learn to find In body, soul and heart and mind We sacrifice our lives to fight For decency or justice or the truth Against an Alligator's tooth! Must get so lonely, so lonely Must get so lonely, so lonely in there Must get so lonely, so lonely Must get so lonely for an Alligator Seeya later Alligator when I get the Blues. Seeya later Alligator on the evening news. [outro]
