Alligator Skin

Oh, I just don't get it, can't seem to make sense

I got some jumbled up thoughts in my jumbled up head

I keep stumbling around on some jumbled up legs

I keep grumbling out some jumbled up text

Holding up both sides on the side of the road

Holding up your store, holding up your home

With the evening news of filth and wounds

A picket and a funeral on Sunday afternoon

Oh, that light shines bright in your eyes

You gotta find your confidence, learn your lines

Pick your class, pick your crime

Better take a breath, take it quick

'Cause it's piling up, yeah, the layer's getting thick

And, oh, I just can't seem to find the time

Alligator skin

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Rubber-necking

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Trash piling

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

When it's all so boring, 99 cents

Up in your face, you know they got it

Got plastic stacked on cheap bank cubes

A perfect place for them to hang their noose

And everyone's got a buy and they talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk, talk about it

And they draw some line and make some point

Which way is right

And, oh, I just can't seem to find the time and that light shines bright in your eyes

Alligator skin

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Rubber-necking

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Trash piling

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Alligator skin

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Rubber-necking

Oh yeah, you know that's how it is

Trash piling

Oh yeah, you know that's how it's got to be

Oh no!

Yeah, it's got to be

Oh no!

That's how it's got to be

That's how it's got to be
