Florida Man lyrics

Should you settle down in the Sunshine State

You should know of its tangled fate

How the conquistador came to Florida

Long before it had a name

The medicine man of the Seminole

Knelt by the sacred flame

And cursed the soul of the conquistador

And his son, and his sons

And the young ones

Of the Florida Man

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man

Down at the mall where the boas crawl

Ted makes love to a concrete wall

His brother Red said his uncle Ned

Found Elvis in a loaf of bread

(Florida Man)

High on meth, there's little Beth

The neighbour's cat is on her breath

Dan dreams he's got red wings of fire

He's waking and shaking on a power wire

(Florida Man)

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man, Florida Man (He's cursed)

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man

Slim sees his face on a moonlit wave

He grabs a shovel and digs his own grave

Lee hates plate glass, he drives right through it

Said Alice's caterpillar made him do it

(Florida Man)

A Miami nurse snatches a purse

And drives down the freeway in reverse

Phil asks the cops to test his drugs

After they find him hiding under a rug

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man, Florida Man (He's cursed)

Florida Man, Florida Man

Florida Man

Don't you laugh, it could be you

The Florida curse always comes true

You can jeer, but you don't understand

Any fragile soul can be a Florida Man
