Swamp Thing

(—— to do that)

Out for kicks and in for trouble

Running to the river's edge

Take a look in the dark water

Won't recognise what you see there

Walking down

down by the river

Frogs are jumping and the catfish flies

Oh

down the river of no return

Desperate men wait down by the river

Whispering shadows by the river's edge

Would-be assassins or pleasure seekers

By the moon no way to tell

Black thoughts

black water

Smooth surface

hidden undertow

River's edge round the river's bend

Around the river that never ends

The skeletons dance with sex by the riverside

(I saw a girl

was a killer)

(Murdered her love in June)

(Walking away from the river)

Leaving behind the king of fools

Dark moon's red river

Coloured by the howling moon

River's edge round the river's bend

Around the river that never ends

Darkness snakes a sideways glance

From the river's other side

Ride the river of no return

From the big black swamp

Reptile eyes

Comes a sideways glance

From the river's other side
