Crocodile Tears - The Northern Pikes

I wore a red shirt when she blew into town

Trepidation to see if she'd notice this thorn-thistle crown

She bought me drinks and her valor was fair

Her long black wings flapped up into the air

She flew into the air

A golden frown it made a sound

Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house

And covers up the sun daylight after day

To dust clouds I pray

Rain crocodile tears

And wash the grief away

She said "In my past life I was burned at the stake

I paid a big price for one very little but foolish mistake"

I said "You're kidding or I hope that you are

To screw up twice in two different lives is truly bizarre"

A golden frown it makes a sound

Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house

And covers up the sun daylight after day

To dust clouds I pray

Rain crocodile tears

And wash the grief away

To dust clouds I pray

Rain crocodile tears

She was a good friend 'til she left me for good

She denied knowing me

She denied loving me like I knew she would

A golden frown it made a sound

Like falling crystals on a glass-plated house

And covers up the sun daylight after day

To dust clouds I pray

Rain crocodile tears

And wash the grief away

To dust clouds I pray

Rain crocodile tears

Rain crocodile tears

Rain crocodile tears

Rain crocodile tears
