Swamp Water

That's it
Yeah, like that

Swamp water is black now, baby
Climb up at your knee
Swamp water is black now, baby
Snakes round my feet

Swamp water is risin', baby
Rollin over your head
Swamp water keep risin', baby
and I'm sinkin' like lead

I'm hearin' more thunder, baby
Just look at that sky
It's gonna keep rainin', baby
we all gonna die.

Don't mind these bugs now, baby
They suckin' your blood
My name ain't Noah, baby
but this shit's a flood.

I'm leaving' for Philly, baby
If I make it alive.
I'm catchin' that train, now baby
I'm takin' that ride.

The vultures are circlin', baby
They over my head
Three days and the river's risin'
by then I'll be dead.

Three days and the river's risin'
Three days and the river's risin'
Three days and the river's risin'
Three days and the river's risin'

Get outta my swamp now, baby.
Get outta my swamp.
Get outta my swamp now, baby.
Get outta my swamp.

Rockaway (Punk Rock Girl)

Uh-huh
Come on

She's the kind of girl that gets a lot of attention
But she really doesn't care because that's not her intention
She just wanna go where she can move her feet
And jump up and down up and down to a Punk Rock beat!

She's the kind of girl who could cause a commotion
But she don't give a damn because her body's in motion
She just wanna go where she can move her feet
And jump up and down up and down to a Punk Rock beat!

From Hennepin County to West LA
From Sunset Strip to Rockaway!

She's the kind of girl that people think that she's famous,
But she don't care for that she prefers to be nameless
She just wanna go where she can move her feet
And jump up and down up and down to a Punk Rock beat!

She's the kind of girl who could cause a commotion
But she don't give a damn because her body's in motion
She just wanna go where she can move her feet
And jump up and down up and down to a Punk Rock beat!

Now she's in Pasadena selling real estate,
But I remember back when we were reprobates.

She's the kind of girl that makes a special occasion
She doesn't have to try it's just a natural persuasion.

From Hennepin County to West LA
From Sunset Strip to Rockaway!
 
Jump Jump Jump Jump Up and Down!
Jump Jump Jump Jump Up and Down!

Jump Jump! Jump Jump! 
Jump Jump! Jump Jump! 

Jump Jump! Jump Jump! 
Jump Jump! 
Up and Down!
