Alligator - Of Monsters and Men

Grateful Dead Anthem of the Sun Alligator Sleepy Alligator in the noon day sun, Lyin' by the river just like he usually done. Call for his whiskey, he can call for his tea, Call all he want to, but he can't call for me. Oh no! I've been there before, And I ain't gonna come around here any more. Creepy alligator coming all around the bend, Shoutin' about the times when we was mutual friends, I checked my memory and I checked it quick, yes I will. I checked it runnin' some old kind of trick. Oh no! Well I've been there before, And I ain't gonna come around here any more. Sailin' down the river in an old canoe, A bunch of and an old tennis shoe. Out of the river all ugly and green, Came the biggest old alligator that I've ever seen! Teeth big and pointy and his eyes were buggin' out, Contracted the union, put the beggars to rout. Screamin' and yellin', he was pickin' his chops, He never runs he just stumbles and hops. Just out of prison on ten dollars bail, Mumblin' bitches and waggin' his tail.

Hold me tight and pull me under You let me drown, you let me dream We using, oh by now my heart is in your teeth Hey alligator, have some mercy on me (Have some mercy on me) Gold blooded, hard headed, I love it, I can't escape you Why do I come back for more? (Come back for more) It's human nature I'm rushing, oh by now my heart is in your teeth Hey alligator, have some mercy on me (Have some mercy on me) Have some mercy on me Lift me up, you take me higher You let me down and fall so far Rushing, oh by now your jaws won't let me breathe Hey alligator, have some mercy on me (Have some mercy on me) Gold blooded, hard headed, I love it, I can't escape you Why do I come back for more? (Come back for more) It's human nature I'm rushing, oh by now my heart is in your teeth Hey alligator, have some mercy on me (Have some mercy on me) I'm rushing, oh by now my heart is in your teeth Hey alligator, have some mercy, have some mercy Have some mercy on me (Have some mercy on me) (Have some mercy on me)

Come On! You can feel her coming, coming at you She, she's staying on you, you know she's coming at you. To resist her seems immpossible, You can't do it, no you cant do it, no you can't do it. Hey lady what you say, how about some fun today? Is it yes? Is it no? Whatever it is just let me know, don't fake me out. Out! Oh you make me shout! Alligator woman, you don't care! You ignore my desires, it ain't fair! You just want to tease me, and turn me on. I wish you would leave but I don't want to be alone, No!

I know that I'm wrong And now we're both sitting in silence But if it's alright I'll wrap myself around your cold shoulder You think you know me But do you really? Something you do, something you say We don't talk about it You think you know me But do you really? There's something about you There's something about you (We don't talk about it) A bull without horns I said nothing, so how come I'm blushin' And though you are warm The cold lingers on the tip of your fingers You think you know me But do you really? Something you do, something you say We don't talk about it You think you know me But do you really? There's something about you There's something about you Oh, you couldn't change this mountain Got me here chasing the sound but I just hear fractions Oh, you couldn't change this mountain Got me here facing the sun but I just need direction You think you know me (you think you know me) But do you really? (But do you really-ey, ey-ey?) Something you do, something you say (something you do, something you say) We don't talk about it (we don't talk about it) You think you know me (you think you know me) But do you really? (But do you really?) There's something about you (there's something about you) There's something about you (there's something about you) (We don't talk about it)

Let's not make this complicated, I know you Last night I had the strangest dream That you knew me too But you need to wake up I can tell you disappeared Just like my parents' house I've become a visitor In the nights you say That you go underwater But you won't take me, no You won't drown with your lover You told me that I wasn't available I guess I wasn't, I was incapable I want to do better this time But I guess you're better in the back of my mind Oh you need to wake up I can tell you disappeared Just like my parents' housе I've become a visitor My mothеr said I was always afraid of the dark But I'm not, I don't mind having a ghost in my bed My mother said I was always afraid of the dark But I'm not, I don't mind having a ghost in my bed (Guess what, we're doing this again) My mother said I was always afraid of the dark But I'm not, I don't mind having a ghost in my bed (Guess what, we're doing this again) My mother said I was always afraid of the dark But I'm not, I don't mind having a ghost in my bed (Guess what, we're doing this again) My mother said I was always afraid of the dark But I'm not, I don't mind having a ghost in my bed (Guess what, we're doing this again) My mother said I was always afraid of the dark But I'm not, I don't mind having a ghost in my bed

Feel the oceans as it breathes Shivering teeth See the mountains where they meet Smothering me As the wind fends off the waves I count down the days Heavy stones fear no weather I find comfort in the sound And the shape of the heart How it echoes through the chest From under the ground As the hills turn into holes I fill them with gold Heavy stones fear no weather And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two And I paint your body black I hide in your hair And you're staring back at me Like I wasn't there As our bodies become stills We welcome the fear Heavy stones fear no weather And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two And from the rain Comes a river running wild that will create An empire for you Illuminate There's a river running wild that will create An empire for you An empire for two An empire for you An empire for two

All this time wasted and all this time gone You are still waitin' on me Every time you leave the house Remember you're not safe But you are hardly ever And all those times that I could swear I heard you speak You spoke in such a low voice Of how if you could choose, you would choose not to feel 'Cause you are hardly ever happy Sometimes I find myself standing in those stairs With eyes so blank and unsure Realizing this is not where I want to be And not where I want to go And I don't mean to somehow, always to disagree But I feel that you do not see In order to love, you have to be all you can be And mostly, you have to love yourself Oh, with all this time wasted and all this time gone You are still waitin' on me Oh, but if I could choose, I would choose not to feel 'Cause I am hardly ever happy I am hardly ever happy, hmm-mm Hmm-mm I am hardly ever happy
