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] |
|
