THEM CROOKED VULTURES LYRICS - Reptiles

"Reptiles"



I tried to make a break

What a fool

I should've known I never listen

I'm in a cage

An animal I'm in a cage



But the reptiles

They won't let me go

I think they want you to stray



Watch the monkey dance

Give 'em a taste

Look at him he's always smiling

Help me to escape

Your mouth agape

You foreign tourist



Woe is me, it will be a funeral

A circus, I'll rap on the cell door

Questions are a fire

That needs feeding to survive

So just you let those flames die down



Trained by consequence and the lash

It leaves me breathless

Their prais is a poison to us all

In the moonlight their scars flash like jewelry

Get too precious

Get locked up in a cage



Want to get, gotta risk any move

Misconstrued and you're screwed

Tongues flash and flick as if they're screaming



Oh they lie just like any lover

Oh do they, those kisses will burn



Under the lights

They snap a finger

You jump, you answer

Like a naive hooker with a big dumb smile



For the reptiles

I guess you'll never know

They won't let you go

Cause you're the soup du'jour. that's for sure



Questions are a fire

That needs feeding to survive

So just you let those flames die down



See them reptiles crawl?

Getting closer

Why won't someone come to drive them away?



Don't rest too long

It's a mistake we can't take back

Take one lying down for a change

And oh it's like cleaning up after an orgy

When it's over

I wish someone would burn this place

To the ground
