Píseň: Alligator Aviator Autopilot Antimatter

Interpret:

Album:
Collapse Into Now
I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator
Climbing up the escalator, I feel strong


I feel like an aviator pilot (bet you wouldn't buy it)
I'm feeling violent (betcha bad eye it)
Turn up the fly it, beat.


Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn.


I feel like an autopilot.
I'm heroic strong and silent.
I feel like a rage coming under my hood,
I feel good and calm like a robot would.


I feel like an autopilot
I feel like an autopilot
I am not a hater, hater, hater, hater, hater


Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn


(I feel like a contradiction
I'm a walking science-fiction
I don't know whichever way to turn
I have got, have got, have got a lot of lot to burn!)


If I didn't like the way you stared at me.
If I didn't like the way you stared at me!
I could knock the sideways,
I could knock you blind
I could show you found to the lost and find.


I am not an agitator
I feel like an alligator
Climbing up the escalator...


Hey, hey, alligator, you have got a lot to learn
I have got, have got a lot to learn


(You've so much to learn, you've got a lot to learn)
