damon, the co-dependent caiman


out on a warm tropical day,
with no inclination to hunt for his prey
lurks a most curious reptilian
relying on his partners for all that he can
(say, is that shell picked clean?… oh, honey, pass me that fin!)

razorlike teeth, slow on the jaw
languorous feet with manicured claws 
declining attack he lingers in wait
to gather the scraplings left by his mate, he's
damon, the co-dependent caiman, damon, the co-dependent caiman

before you condemn the way i get by
give me the chance, to say that i tried
enable my lungs, empower my legs
shore up my spine, or swim in my pla - ace

down on the shores, of mother caribe,
they're gathered in scores, would you believe
excepting for one who waits in the blind
for honey to leave her booty behind
(you gonna eat that antenna?… no, i just need it for my stereo!)

equipped for a diet of livers and scales
never pursuing, how can he fail
with plenty of time to play on his charm
submissively mating will do him no harm, he's
damon, the co-dependent caiman, damon, the co-dependent caiman

before you denounce the life that i lead,
draw me a map, to find what i need
enable my claws, empower my feet
waken my jaws, but watch for my te -eeth

(mmmmm… rat-tail stew… man, this is the life…)

… he's damon, the co-dependent caiman
damon, the co-dependent caiman <!-- end of AOLMsgPart_3_473de96b-b611-4f09-aa8a-035ceb310657 -->
