Citizens - Reptile lyrics

Reptile

Reptile

There are no wires connecting your heart

To you head and your hands

So where should you start?

There are no satellites guiding you home

So careful as you tread

In this carnival of souls

Don’t let your blood run cold

This is not a city that learns to forgive

This is the place where cold hearts live

Feeding off your friends and hang out late

Everybody wants it, but nobody waits

Don’t let your blood run cold

I’m turning a reptile

Sitting alone on park bench

Just like a reptile

Closer than I’ve ever dreamt

Reptile

I am not afraid of losing my mind

As long as it happens a day at a time

My skin will grow thick my eyes will grow bright

And my face will grow long

It’s a terrible sight

Don’t let your blood run cold

They say I’m just like a reptile

Sitting alone on a park bench

Just like a reptile

Closer than I have dreamt

See me sitting alone

Taking the sun

Out on the bench

So I’m turning into a reptile

Closer than I’ve ever dreamt

Reptile

So don’t let the coast fall in

When it gets a little alone

And don’t let your blood run cold

I’m turning a reptile

Sitting alone on park bench

Just like a reptile

Closer than I’ve ever dreamt

Reptile

Sitting alone on park bench

Just like a reptile

Closer than I’ve ever dreamt

See me sitting alone

Taking the sun

Out on the bench

So I’m turning into a reptile

Closer than I’ve ever dreamt

Reptile

Just like a reptile
