[Lyric] Alligators (Flight Brigade)

[Verse 1]
Roots that dive to oceans deep beneath the ground
Skin like alligators wrapping round and round
Arms are raised victorious, heaving in the sun
This, the tree, the place that memories begun

[Chorus]
And it’s alright, it’s too hot to touch
Like a bad dream, it can seem too much
And I never held you in my arms to let you go
Arms to let you go

[Verse 2]
By the mighty oak tree, standing as a boy
Reaching branches won’t stop who they will deploy
It’s the day the letter came to my front door
Me and all my school friends, off to win the war

[Bridge]
All that we remember, all that we defend
Our skin like alligators binds us till the end
[Chorus]
And it’s alright, it’s too hot to touch
Like a bad dream, it can seem too much
And I never held you in my arms to let you go
Arms to let you go
