Roky Erickson - Cold Night For Alligators

From the Album "Gremlins have Pictures"(Maybe the best version of the song)
This Song was inspired from the 1959's movie "The Alligator People"
Lyrics:
It's a cold night for alligators
It's a cold night for dogs
The dogs choke on their barking
When they see alligator persons in the bog and fog
It's a cold night for alligators
When men turn into them in the night
It's a cold night for alligators
It's a cold night for their might
It's a cold night for alligators
Hiding behind the trees with moss
Forever hear the swamp birds screaming
Forever in loss
It's a cold night for alligators
In the blend
It's a cold night for alligators
A perfect monster has no end...

Sounds like the Explosives...what a voice Rocky had, amazing version!

[@mickeymousebiker1]

I've followed this guy's sound since '67. Great to hear from you, Roky! To me, you never left the stage or the studio. This is king tone, baby! Stay frosty, Roky.

It's a cold night for great rock n roll.....rest in power.

[@Saitaverorwhatever]

This music gives me chills and thrills that creep down my spine when i close my eyes, and when its over i feel a little numb, like a snake still after the effects of the flute even though the show is over.
