lirik lagu leslie fish - swamp gas
[verse 1]
i was walking my watchmen’s rounds one night
when up in the sky i saw this flaming light
it looked like a soup bowl flying upside down
and a hundred people must’ve seen it cross our town
but of all the folks questioned by the local fuzz
not one of them would call it what they knew it was
[refrain]
they said it was swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[verse 2]
i saw the thing settle in an open yard
it was glowing and shiny kinda sleek and hard
i looked it over closely so i wouldn’t forget
and i was sure that it was nothing that this world’s made yet
i woke up all the neighbors made ’em look and see
and as soon as they could talk again they said to me
[refrain]
you know that’s just swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[verse 3]
then out of the saucer came this little green guy
and he asked us for some water ’cause his tanks had gone dry
he lifted up a building roof, looked in and said, “ack!”
then he saw that we were worried so he put it back
he thanked us for the water, got in and took off
and behind me i heard someone discretely cough
~cough~
[refrain]
you know that was swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[verse 4]
so i called up the cops and i tried to explain
and while they called the air force they called me insane
i hauled in fifty people who had seen it too
though the shut up fast and let the experts through
the answer from the experts raised a lot of smiles
’cause there’s no swamp nearer than three hundred miles
[refrain]
but they said it was swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[verse 5]
so i went back to the cops and i said it was a crime
that the government should lie so much of the time
i guess a lot of people must’ve thought so too
’cause just then a bomb down in the bas~m~nt blew
and they said that the station up and flew away
i could swear that i heard someone below me say
[refrain]
you know this is swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[verse 6]
now the flying building took its time in coming down
and scattered bits and pieces over half of our town
and i’m here only ’cause a tall white tree
with its big soft branches made a net for me
way up there in the branches i can sway and swing
and the people walking past me didn’t see a thing
[refrain]
they said i was swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[verse 7]
now why do they try to tell you that tale?
and insist that you believe it or you go to jail
or worse they’ll send you packing to the funny farm
oh government lying does a lot of harm
’cause if they can tell you lies about what happens next door
don’t you know that when you ask about the latest war
[refrain]
they’ll tell you it’s swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas
swamp gas, oh yes
but i know what i’ve seen
[outro]
i know what i’ve seen
i know what i’ve seen
