Swamp by Talking Heads

Now lemme tell you a story
The Devil, he has a plan
A bag a' bones in his pocket
Get anything you want

No dust and no rocks
The whole thing is over
All those beauties in solid motion
All those beauties, gonna swallow you up

Let's go, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, 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 out touch monkeys
All that blood, gonna swallow you whole

Let's go, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
What's that? Who's driving? Where we're 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 an 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
Everyone 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

It's click, click, see ya later
Beta, beta, no time to rest
Pika, pika, risky business
All that blood, will never cover that mess

Let's go, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
So soft hard feelings, no tricks lets go
I, we come to take you home

Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
Hi, hi, hi, hi, hi, hi
