[00:15.32]Drinking a cup of alligator blood
[00:20.02]tastes like the heads and feet we'd see
[00:24.67]for sale at the local pawn
[00:29.54]We'd make necklaces out of
[00:35.10]I'd wear them round my neck
[00:37.17]I'm a sucker for the love of the flesh
[00:40.91]All things rancid and delicate
[00:44.56]but the smell in the summer heat
[00:50.39]it still gets to me
[00:54.33]
[00:55.35]Knee-deep in the poacher's dream
[00:59.80]he dragged that thing out back and he
[01:04.40]hung it upside down and slit its belly open
[01:09.87]and then he let it bleed out
[01:15.18]He held my head and made me watch
[01:19.68]Filled my mouth up with its blood and said,
[01:26.82]"Grow up weak or grow up tough"
[01:36.88]
[01:45.69]Playing in the swamp of alligator blood
[01:50.40]behind our house in the marshy lawn
[01:55.11]he'd always hold my head
[01:59.67]under the water a little too long
[02:05.54]Cuz he wanted me to be all guts no glory
[02:10.76]"All survivor,no guilt" he said
[02:14.96]But he calls me his crocodile tears
[02:19.86]while I'm chained up to the bed
[02:25.43]
[02:25.88]Knee-deep in the poacher's dream
[02:30.03]he dragged that thing out back and he
[02:35.25]hung it upside down and slit its belly open
[02:40.56]and then he let it bleed out
[02:45.78]He held my head and made me watch
[02:50.79]Filled my mouth up with its blood and said,
[02:57.57]"grow up weak or grow up tough"
[03:07.66]
[03:16.62]When I was done - wiped my mouth on his sleeve
[03:26.02]I ****ed the soul of the south
[03:30.17]but it crucified me
[03:35.13]
