[Intro]
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
[Verse 1]
Never had guts for much
Never had fun
Never was much for lives
But you're mine by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth
[Chorus]
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
[Verse 2]
Shut up so I can think
Damn nerves, damn everything
Never was much for love
But you're mine, by the shine
Of my bloody teeth
[Chorus]
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
[Verse 3]
And when it starts to sting
Don't worry, gotta be clean
Never was much for sing
But you're mine, by the sharp
Of my fucking teeth
[Chorus]
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
I need to bite
Sweet Krokodil-dil-dil-dil
[Outro]
