Reptiles

Them Crooked Vultures

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
