Lyrics:

ALLIGATOR ARMS

Your crocodile tears are over-flowing

The futile banks of my reptile farm

Your head knows right where your feet are going

Out of reach of my heart’s alligator arms

You came into the swamp that my heart haunted

Hovercrafterly you stayed above the muck

Then like a Seminole you plucked love’s orchids

Got drunk and lost it all playing chuck-a-luck

Your crocodile tears are over-flowing

The futile banks of my reptile farm

Your head knows where your little claws are going

Out of reach of my heart’s alligator arms

You say that you are off to see the lizard

But did you ever see the wizard about those brains?

You buried my heart when it was just slightly injured

Now love lies among those archeological remains

Your crocodile tears are over-flowing

The futile banks of my reptile farm

Your lizard brain knows where your claws are going

Out of reach of my heart’s alligator arms
