Talking Heads - Swamp lyrics

rate me

Now lemme tell you a story

The devil he has a plan

A bag a' bones in his pocket

Got anything you want

No dust and no rocks

The whole thing is over

All these beauties in solid motion

All those beauties, gonna swallow you up

Hi hi hi hi hi,

One time too many

Too far to go

I- We come to take you home

And when they split those atoms

It's hotter than the sun

Blood is a special substance

They gonna pray for that man

So wake up young lovers

The whole thing is over

Watch but touch monkeys

All that blood, gonna swallow you whole

Hi hi hi hi hi

What's that? Who's driving?

Where we goin'? Who knows?

I- We come to take you home

How many people do you think I am

Pretend I am somebody else

You can pretend I'm and old millionaire

A millionaire washing his hands

Rattle the bones, dreams that stick out

A medical chart on the wall

Soft violence and hands touch your throat

Ev'ryone wants to explode

And when your hands get dirty

Nobody knows you at all

Don't have a window to slip out of

Lights on, nobody home

Click click- see ya later

Beta beta- no time to rest

Pika pika- risky business

All that blood, will never cover that mess.

Hi hi hi hi hi

So soft hard feelings

What's that, who's driving

No tricks lets go

I- We come to take you home

I- We come to take you home

Hi hi hi hi hi

etc.
