Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
You're all I ever wanted
There's no remedy
I feel you when there's no one else around
Hold me like a child you swollen crocodile
Hold me under till I drown
Then pull me down baby
[Verse 4]
Tell me what you came for
Tell me what you can and what you can't
Because honey I might be a while
Honey, I might be a while longer
Only I know I'm better off this way
The water's still the safest place to stay
[Verse 5]
You're all I ever wanted
There's no remedy
I feel you when there's no one else around
Hold me like a child you swollen crocodile
Hold me under till I drown
Then pull me down, baby
[Verse 6]
Pull me down, baby
