lyrics

Crocodile

Basking under sunny skies,
Grin your lizard grin.
Pierce the gloom with scheming eyes
And draw the suckers in.
Someone with no depth, no shame,
Some people just don’t bleed.
As arid as this world you made,
Adjust your shades. Lie to me.

Fix that smile, you crocodile,
Cheating karma for a while.
The plans you made were set in stone
And there’s nowhere left to go.
Cry, cry, crocodile. Let go.

Somehow getting what you need got harder every day.
No matter what you told them,
Or how you sold them.
Pretty far from what you were,
An echo of yourself,
Hollowed out by fears of getting left upon the shelf.

Fix that smile, you crocodile,
Cheating karma for a while.
The plans you made were set in stone
And there’s nowhere left to go.
Cry, cry, crocodile. Let go.

And when your time is up they’ll drag you from the shade.
Feel the panic start to rise.
The cracks begin to show, the water’s looking dark,
As the birds that picked your teeth for scraps
Sow the seeds of your demise.

Fix that smile, you crocodile,
Cheating karma for a while.
The plans you made were set in stone
And there’s nowhere left to go.
Cry, cry, crocodile. Let go.
