Alligator Mine Lyrics

Cover art for Alligator Mine lyrics by Arcade Fire

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."
