Lyrics
There?s a face underneath the face that you?re showing me
There?s a place there?s a face there?s a time for everything
There?s a beast who crawls on his belly in silence
Waiting so patiently for the right moment
Snap go the jaws and you?ve been taken in again
You become the thing that you wouldn?t show your best friend
(chorus)
You can run but you can?t hide
Sooner or later
You?ve got to feed the alligator in your mind
Everyone?s got a gun everyone?s got a trigger
When we feed the libido it only gets bigger
Try to flush it down, well, that?s the worst thing you can do
It will thrive in the sewer and come right back for you
(chorus)
You can run but you can?t hide
Sooner or later
You?ve got to feed the alligator in your mind
(chorus)
You can run but you can?t hide
Sooner or later
You?ve got to feed the alligator in your mind
