Them Crooked Vultures - Reptiles lyrics

rate me

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
