Gators Leavin' New York
Tattooed pierced sewer alligator
Wearin’ human-skin shoes,
Said, “Run for your f*ckin’ life,
You got nothin’ to lose,
’Cause Armageddon’s comin’ down
And the time’s come to choose,”
But I don’t know who was talkin’,
Was it him or the booze?Gators leavin’ New York
On the Penn Station trains,
I suppose I’d join ’em
If I had any brains.Said, “I’ve been livin’ in sweet slime
For about ninety years,
But I can smell apocalypse,
The vibe’s changed around here,
I’m headin’ for the Jersey swamps,
Time’s come to disappear,
And if you had a lick of sense, son,
You’d get your *ss in gear.”Gators leavin’ New York
On the Penn Station trains,
I suppose I’d join ’em
If I had any brains.Smoke’s curlin’ skyward over London,
And above Cairo, too,
Cops check my knapsack on the 6 line,
Manhattan boys in blue
On a plastique Easter egg hunt,
Don’t know what else to do,
But, h*ll, I call this island home,
Life’s rough, what else is new?Gators leavin’ New York
On the Penn Station trains,
I suppose I’d join ’em
If I had any brains.
