Reptiles Lyrics - Them Crooked Vultures - 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
