Black Swamp by The Mavericks of Love Lyrics

Little frogs shouldn't ask for gods
All you learnt as a child, forgot
Don't stew in your own juice

Square pegs into round holes
Who to blame told by who controls
Who are you listening to?

And now it's over
By and by
Everything flashes before your eyes

Fourteen years in a black swamp
Nothing to sell and no sense

I dreamt about the house again
With the floorboards up the walls
Small rooms, bigger rooms
There's a split in the floor
And the cracks up the sides
Lightning hits the walls
And the splinters fall in the dog's bowl
I heard about the boys and their bikes
And the law of the briny deep
I know how they feel

An oil-drop in your puddle
spoiled but colourful
I know how it feels

And now its over
By and by
Everything flashes before your eyes

Fourteen years in a black swamp
Nothing to sell and no sense
Your lace is untied
