lyrics

Reptile skulking down the street,
Creep to the bone.
Silver tongued and iron-lunged.
Step to me.

Saw her standing in the street light glow.
Silver hair turned red, I pull the killing blow.
She looked just like my mother, I was her favourite child.

Knock knockin' on the front of my door,
Escorts for me.
I'm pulled in to a questioning room,
'You want coffee or tea?'
Start laughing at all of my pleas,
Good and bad cop routine.

Now I'm walking through the courtroom doors.
Cameras and lights are flashing, I smile and wave hello.
I hope my mama see's this, I am her favourite child.

What I done,
Where it's from,
I don't know.
Where she is and how I sleep
it's unknown.

I am an animal,
I am a beast,
I am a cannibal,
Come and feed me.
I'm a free radical and that's why you're weak.
I am an animal.

Now I'm sunbathing near my cell window.
I hope you get this letter,
Love from your favourite child.
