Alligator Skin

You drop me like a mad dog
You shake me like a rag doll baby
You burn me like a lynch mob
You hang me but my neck’s not breaking
Draw the line with a colour that I won’t walk on
Black and blue are the shade of your foundation
A canvas with a cleaner vision
A canvas with a clearer religion
Once may make this seem cruel
Now you’re nothing at all
You drop me like a mad dog
You shake me like a rag doll baby
You burn me like a lynch mob
You hang me but my neck’s not breaking
Once may make this seem cruel
Now you’re nothing at all
I’ve made my mind up now I’m sticking to this
I won’t be fooled again
I pin the alligator skin to my neck
And shed it on you
You drop me like a mad dog
You shake me like a rag doll baby
You burn me like a lynch mob
You hang me but my neck’s not breaking
I drop you like a mad dog
I shake you like a rag doll baby
I burn you like a lynch mob
I hang you and we’re separated
