"Swamp Song" lyrics

"Swamp Song"

I'm riding a rocket
I got my ticket in my pocket
No home in the slow lane
I'm kind of riding on a ghost train
I need some correction
I never learned to take direction
I'm fixing to holler
I need a drink, I need a dollar

Oh, give me something
Oh, oh, oh, give me something

Low down in a high rise
I'm like a vampire at sunrise
I don't drive and I don't steal
I need a drink, I need a good meal
I'm eating a flower
I'm gonna do it every hour
Don't ask me no questions
For good advice or bad suggestions

Oh, give me something
Oh, oh, oh, give me something

Well, you scream and you holler
Come on, give me a dollar
Yeah

I'm swimming in sleekness
It's just a temporary weakness
My senses are raging
But I only do it on occasion
I'm sunk in the ocean
I got molecular melotion
I'm fixing to holler
I need a drink, I need a dollar

Oh, give me something
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, give me something
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something
Give me something
Oh, give me something
Oh, give me something
