Swamp

Hèlio Contreiras / David Byrne / Jerry Harrison / Tina Weymouth

Now let me tell you a story
the devil, he has a plan
bag of bones in his pocket, and anything you want
no dust, no looks
the whole thing is over all those beauties, in solid motion
all those beauties there gonna swallow you up

lets go
high (x13)

one time too many, too far to go
i have come to take you home whoo hoo

when they split those atoms, its hotter than the sun
you need a special substance, they gonna pray for that man
so wake up, look lovers,
the whole thing is over
watch out, touch monkeys
all that blood
there gonna swallow you whole

lets go
high(x13)

so soft, hard feeling, no tricks, lets go
i have come to take you home whoo hoo

how many people do you think i am
to turn up as somebody else
you can pretend i'm a old millionare, a millionare washin' hishands
rattle the bones of dreams that stick out
a medical chart on the wall,
soft violations, hands touch your throat
everyone wants to explode

when your hands get dirty, no body knows you at all
don't have a window to slip out of
lights on no body home
trick trick, see ya later
beta veta no time t rest
picka picka, risky business
all that blood, better cover that mess

lets go
high(x13)

once more
high(x13)
