Lyrics Swimming with the Crocodiles (Live at Roundhead Studios, Auckland) - The Veils

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
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

You′re all I′ve ever wanted
And there's no remedy
I feel you when there′s no one else around
Hold me like a child, you swollen crocodiles
Hold me under until I drown

Just tell me what you came for

Just tell me what you can and what you can't
′Cause honey I might be a while -
Honey I might be a while longer
And only I know I'm better off this way
