Swamp T'ing

from Swamp T'ing by Gary Lucas

lyrics

Chilly scenes of winter
The price of love comes
A' tumbling down
Like a play by Pinter
You think you know her
But she's nowhere around
Her words a sharpened dagger
One thrust will drop you right
Straight to the ground

And that's the way
That's the way that it is

A frosty blue horizon
An arctic wind descends
To billow and blow
Around the corner something
Might be a savior
But uh you never know
And in the distance calling
Another lover, man
How low can you go?

And that's the way
That's just the way that it is

Come on and dance the tango
Come on and join me
In this sick pas de deux
Come on now choose your partner
Give her a tumble
Before she tumbles you
And if you're feeling frisky
Well Ernie Brooks will make you
Sadder than blue!

And that's the way
That's the way that it is
