Reptile

Did you hear the so-called prophet mention
All our kids are fenced in
Ridden with infection--Saw it coming
Speaking of a certain vaccination
Was drowned by conversations
Tourists on vacation always running

Oh well, I'll just keep on gardening
Removing all the horrid things
That make my eyes so sore
But it seems that all the ground is hardening
Don't even bother trying to find something that is pure

Reptile
How's your new skin?
Is your blood still cold from when they told you love was wearing thin
Cracked smile
And a flick of the tongue
Might keep them at bay but you'll be prey when all is said and done
Or perhaps end up in a cage
For restless eyes to grow bored as you age...

Did you hear the latest proposition
Funds for ammunitions
To spread our conditions like a plague
Suddenly the tourists drop their visors
Paint up all their flyers
To convince deniers they know the way

Ahhh but I've got dishes in the sink
Wishes fill the wine I drink
Keeping me obscured
And I'm sure there's poison on the kisses that I think were given to me
Just to see how long I'd be deterred

Reptile
How's your new skin?
Is your blood still cold from when they told you love was wearing thin
Cracked smile
And a flick of the tongue
Might keep them at bay but you'll be prey when all is said and done
Or perhaps end up in a cage
For restless eyes to grow bored as you age...

Oh dear, did you see it coming
Wish you hadn't lied
And oh dear, too late to start running
Lock me up inside

Reptile
How's your new skin?
Is your blood still cold from when they told you love was wearing thin
Cracked smile
And a flick of the tongue
Might keep them at bay but you'll be prey when all is said and done
Or perhaps end up in a cage
For restless eyes to grow bored as you age...
