lyrics

Wind pulls ripples from the grass
Sun pounds down and cracks the ground
Warm blood water is a bath
And birds are landing in your mouth

Subway train a sardine can
Doors peel open, spill you into Office Land
Ooh, she gives you curt good-day
She likes the mail boy but you
You're always in her way

That's enough you resolve
And the past will just dissolve
It's time to stand up and evolve
Man to businessman to sharp-dressed businessman
Tie too wide, no coordination
This is a disaster of proportions
Witnessed not before in my lifetime

The lady dressed and smiled with taste
She measured inseam with particular grace
And she said tell me what you want
You've seen the movies now it's your turn Mr Big Guy

How are you? She says fine
You say how about some wine?
She says perhaps another time
Will that be all for you today sir?
Hold the phone what are those
Over all the others it's a pair of Alligator Shoes
You can feel your life about to change

Monday morn bells and horns
Stride with head up, you're reborn
And glad that nobody was warned
Stand among admiring multitudes and scoff
Feeling big, feeling supercharged
The spirit of the alligator, teeth and anger
Lord of all the locals

Fell asleep for half the day
Sun is low and the birds have gone away
So lug yourself up on the band
Blood cools off and slows you down
Like Tin Man with no oil can
