Lyrics

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out
Alligator, take a bite out of me
Chew me up and spit me out

These are my last words
Hope that you like them
Hope that you like them
Hope that you like them

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out

Arizona lightning
The Arizona lightning
The Arizona lightning is striking my oar

If you only knew
...
You are part of me
...

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out
Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out

I need a little excitement
Some civilians to frighten
My day is gonna brighten
I'm getting really high
Black keys gonna tighten
Charlemagne dirty riding
Is there anybody up there guiding us?
Cause my load needs lightening

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out
Alligator, take a bite out of me
Chew me up and spit me out

Gonna turn down the fader
I'm gonna see you later
You are my alligator
The monster in my head
This the way the story goes
You're the only one that doesn't know
You've got to move along
Been working out, getting strong

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out
Alligator, take a bite out of me
Chew me up and spit me out

These are my last words
I hope that you like them
Hope that you like them
Hope that you like them

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out

I hope you'll still be my friend
I'm starting to get scared
Don't understand what's out there
I feel anxiety
I don't think it's only me
No one understands
No one has control
We're going off the edge
We're going up in smoke (I don't wanna die)
Yeah, we had a good one (I don't wanna die)
It was real and it was fun (I wanna live forever)
But we're gonna disappear
As if we never were here
And all the aliens
Will never ever know
The good things that we did

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out
Alligator, take a bite out of me
Chew me up and spit me out

These are my last words
I hope that you like them
Hope that you like them
Hope that you like them

Alligator, take a bite of me
Chew me up and spit me out
Alligator, take a bite out of me
Chew me up and spit me out
