Alligator by Samm Bennett - Polarity Records

Alligator

alligator ... he'll blow through town
alligator ... he’ll turn you round
alligator ... he’ll kiss your hand
alligator ... well ain’t that grand
alligator ... he came to play
alligator ... it’s you who’ll pay
alligator ... look where it’s led
alligator ... he’s in your bed

knocked on your door and brought you flowers
he's gonna use his magic powers
told you he loves the dress you're wearing
look out your window
see him catch a freight train
freight train

alligator ... he’s on a roll
alligator ... you’re in the hole
alligator ... he’ll make his move
alligator ... you’ll lose your groove
alligator ... ain’t no boy scout
alligator ... you'd best watch out
alligator ... not what he seems
alligator ... he’ll steal your dreams

sent you a valentine now didn't he
he's so romantic, well now, isn't he
told you he's gonna stay forever
look out your window
see him catch a freight train

alligator ... the fix is in
alligator ... you’ll never win
alligator ... tells only lies
alligator ... your spirit dies
alligator ... the truth be told
alligator ... he’ll steal your soul
alligator ... time out of mind
alligator ... leave you behind

you gave him your numbers and your money
led him to all your milk and honey
you whispered to him "babe i love you"
look out your window
see him catch a freight train

you hear that freight train?
you hear that freight train?
you hear that freight train?
you hear that freight train?
he's aready gone!

alligator ... he’s had his fun
alligator ... his work’s all done
alligator ... looks like he’s through
alligator ... all through with you
alligator ... here’s what you’ll find
alligator ... done robbed you blind
alligator ... just ‘fore the dawn
alligator ... this gator’s gone

where is heading? ain't no knowing
tell me which way the wind is blowing
where are the precious things you gave him?
looks like he took 'em with him
on that freight train

alligator ... alligator ...
alligator ... alligator ...
