Swamp lyrics

I pulled my hands out of Virginia and I said
I'm sorry yet again
I'm leaving you for a man
Fryin' chicken all day long
Your hair smells of grease
I bathe with you
I stink of it too
Drain the water please

Da la la...

With dirt under my fingernails
I clawed out of the swamp
A bear trap closed on my leg
So I gnawed my foot off
Mosquitos have been feastin' on what's left of my legs
I used to swat at them
But gave up after a day

Da la la la....

The pavement burnt my torso
As my arms dragged it home
What's hungry in my blackened skin
Needed a man of my own
One foot left
The toenail scraping harshly as I slither
I scratch at your door
Praying you'll hear and come hither
Da la la la....

You let me in
Licked me clean
And fed me what you could
I stayed ugly and possessed
Your body, mind, and food
One foot left
The toenail scrapin' harshly as I slither
I find an attic to hide in and go lither

Da la la la....
