"Real Good Swimmer" lyrics

"Real Good Swimmer"

I can see myself sitting down by the river
Smoking cigarettes and chewing on a gizzard
Sitting in the sun, man skinny as a lizard
My baby fell in but she's a good swimmer

My baby brother sat with his daughter by the water
When a tidal wave came up big and got her
Stood up on the wave, held the reins like a horse
Patience is a virtue that we learn by force
Flipping through my comic books, spitting out the seeds
So damn thirsty I could drink the whole sea
Floating on a gummy worm, taken by the breeze
Guitar solos still bring me to my knees

I can see myself sitting down by the river
Smoking cigarettes and chewing on a gizzard
Sitting in the sun, man skinny as a lizard
My baby fell in, but she's a good swimmer

Sitting in my-
Sitting in my living room, finishing my dinner
Drooling on a picture of some Super Bowl winners
Looking out the window at the world gone by
Flap your arms hard enough and you're surely gonna fly
Looking out the window at the world gone by
Flap your arms hard enough and you're surely gonna fly
Surely gonna fly, surely gonna fly
Surely gonna fly

I can see myself sitting down by the river
Smoking cigarettes and chewing on a gizzard
Sitting in the sun, man skinny as a lizard
My baby fell in, but she's a good swimmer
