lyrics

Swimming in a swamp with you
(Great Aunt Coleslaw)

Early morning as rain is pouring
Along your soggy street
Time is gone and I can’t go on
If everything is make believe

To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you

Once in a while I’ll crack a smile
And hope for something else
All I’ve seen and all I’ve dreamed
Says music is the best

All my friends can’t understand
They think I’ve lost my mind
The loss of fear when death is near
It makes me feel alive

To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
To be swimming in a swamp with you
