	Lyrics catch the butterfly and crush it see the pretty flower and pluck it dig the oil well and suck it find the virgin forest and fuck it ah-hah, sad to say, ah-hah, it’s the taker way too many raiders in the tomb too many powers on the moon too many gold-diggers tryin to boom I know: Simon says the idealogy that chased the Indians on the res curiosity fed the cat to the crocodile no pyramids in the belly of the Nile what’s left of Tutankamen’s piles? I spies the crocodile’s eyes I spies the crocodile’s eyes if we converge don’t mean we gon rise what’s left when the Buddha’s smile dies I spies the crocodile’s eyes it’s not just the eyes it’s the teeth nobody wanna get underneath, nobody wanna reach it’s super-duper bleach that we teach and super-sickly sweet what we reap and eat and here comes the gang of cameras tryin to steal youre soul I am the conquistador with the drum roll but what is it that we stole? nobody knows, nobody knows the eyes of the watcher can distort the watch-ed a songwriter can change the words that Heisenberg said but what heppens when the microscope lies? I spies the crocodile’s eyes the mystery of the missin notes, the missin… ah, Mingus still screamin bout that, Mingus still screamin on my record player, Mingus still screamin bout that in his goodbye pork pie hat, would’ve liked to have fought back but not everyman get the chance to decide when he’s not gon turn his back it’s wack, but half the world be tryin to cross the tracks more wack: the other half’re tryin twice as hard just to cross back do-do-do-do white adobe walls, blue Spanish tiles black African masks, red Thai textiles what’s left of Mona Lisa’s smiles I spies the crocodile’s eyes
