I like to swim

Where I can see the bottom

But where is the challenge

In swimming all alone

When I get the feeling

Like I am being hunted

A rush of adrenaline

Propels me home


As I'm doing the backstroke

Down Alligator Alley

Flipping to freestyle

Try to pick up some speed

Ain't no time for breaststroke

Got to get my ass to the other side

Swimming like a speed boat

So I don't die

Swim for your life


The eyes in the back of my head

Are constantly scoping

Looking for the choppers

That are looking for me

I mean not to threaten

I'm only searching for excitement

As I bolt cut the fencing

And I set Willie free

Yeah, that was me


As I'm doing the backstroke

Down Alligator Alley

Flipping to freestyle

Try to pick up some speed

Ain't no time for breaststroke

Got to get my ass to the other side

Swimming like a speed boat

So I don't die

Swim for your life


I'm physically shackled

But you could never chain

Or restrain my mind

Sporting a straight jacket

After my insanity plea

Ignoring all the racket

Of conventional reality


As I'm doing the backstroke

Down Alligator Alley

Flipping to freestyle

Try to pick up some speed

Ain't no time for breaststroke

Got to get my ass to the other side

Swimming like a speed boat

So I don't die

Swim for your life
