Dark Alleys - Crocodiles

Walking like a limp I felt so empty hearted

And soon departed to some strange room

Where hung only pictures of you

I saw my twisted face on those walls too

I heard corrupted voices passing through

Caresses and distresses all at once

They tore at me, I couldn’t turn away

I followed them through streets I’d never known

Although the houses had a stare

Familiar and murderous to bear

They led me through the wild, haggard night

They tried to tell me I was too uptight

Caresses and distresses all at once

They tore at me and then I turned away

Hey you!

When with lust I do pass through

The dark alleys of my heart

I never fall apart

I always think of you

You protect me from myself

My eyes become like glass;

I can shatter and caress

The shards against my heart

And all the love comes spilling out

And the waves wash away

All the sickness and decay

And then I fall in love with you
