Hey Swifty

Gonna hold my hand

Right over that candle flame

Until i can't take it any longer

I swear i could hold it there

All god damned day

If i wanted to

I said hey go on

Go ahead and make my day

Then i blew away the mother in the mirror

And as i lay dying

On the bedroom rug

Bleeding with all my heart

Someone says hey swifty

Yer gonna have to come around sometime



Took a car ride out to the flats

Where i hit a big dog

Hit a dog out on the highway

So to find out what it was like

When you hit a big dog

I ran over it a couple more times

Let it set for a week or so

Until it got really ripe

And flat and hard

In the middle of the highway

Then i found it and bound it up

With some baler twine

And painted it up like an american flag

Then someone says hey swifty

Yer gonna have to come around sometime



Last week i got so bored

That i took a big ride

And went out to the mississippi

I took this guy i know

Named lou along and he went

Because he wanted to

He said i can't believe

We've driven all this way

Just to see a fuckin' river

And i said god damn, god damn

God damn you man

And i left him where he stood

Then someone says hey swifty

Yer gonna have to come around sometime
