Take the bandage off his eyes
Take the bandage off and then go down
Swimming with the crocodiles
Spinning round and round and round
Only I know I'm better off this way
The water's still the safest place to stay
They're sinking in their teeth tonight
I can feel them move beneath me with no sound
Swimming with the crocodiles
Spinning round and round and round
Only I know I'm better off this way
The water's still the safest place to stay
You're all I've ever wanted
And there's no remedy
I feel you when there's no one else around
Hold me like a child, you swollen crocodiles
Hold me under until I drown
Then pull me down
Just tell me what you came for
Just tell me what you can and what you can't
'Cause honey I might be a while
Honey I might be a while longer
And only I know I'm better off this way
