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
