Alligator Mine Lyrics

Run run run run run run run away
Run run run run run run run away from me, from me

You breathe like airs, a tourist in your heart, babe
When colder weather comes, you just suffocate

You kiss like love's a tourist in your heart, babe
When colder weather comes, you just disappear from me
But I can't wait to have your sweet love again before you

Run run run run run run run away

You're cold blooded, stealing my sunlight
You're cold blooded, alligator mine

You're cold blooded, stealing my sunlight
You're cold blooded, alligator mine

i think this is about a very one-sided friendship/ realationship. the other person is only there when things are going well, "when colder weather comes you just disappear from me".

but the person still loves them and knows they will take them back, despite the way they treat them, even though they know it wont be long before the other person leaves, "but i cant wait to have your sweet love again before you...run run run run run run run away"

and maybe the singer realizes that the person who is supposed to take the "cold weather" away and support them is actually making things worse, "you're cold blooded, stealin my sunlight you're cold blooded alligator mine"

this might not make sense, but i think songs are meant to be universal. this is just my take on it. :]

Where can one get this song?

I'm sure the line is actually "You breathe like air's a tourist in your lungs".

i thought of it as his lover being forced to run away from home, and even though he understands, he holds it against her for "stealing his sunlight" just the same.

the way i heard: "You breathe like airs, a tourist in your heart, babe" was more like "you breathe like ere's("there" said differently) a tortoise in your heart rate"

"there was a mic here."
