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
