lyrics

Alligator Tears

Die is her motto, cry never was her thing

She flyin’ solo, in spite of all he sings

Them banshees in my ear

Black magnum pistol, pointed straight at my eye

His trigger finger, is drunk and so am I

God’s hands up to the sky

And then the lightning strikes and you die

(Chorus)

Black Magic Mama, drank alligator tears

Became the monster, of all my darkest fears

Come swimming through my blood

Ma never loved him, Pa never knew his eyes

His middle finger, pointed straight at the sky

God’s son of broken lands

And the lightning strikes where you stand

(Chorus)
