Swampland Lyrics - Scientists

every day at dusk when the sun fades 

my mind returns to the everglades 

a place alive with green mangroves and vine 

shotguns and snakes, alligator wine 

nobody knows so they never think to visit 

where the atmosphere's so thick that you could kiss it 

I've never seen copper heads darting from their graves 

a once mighty oak's red roots... in decay 

In my heart there's a place called swampland 

nine parts water - one part sand 

In my heart there's a place called swampland 

nine parts water - one part sand 

rangers jet through on their hovercraft 

me I take it slowly... using a raft 

to them it's the home of the hungry piranha 

to me it is sheer nirvana 

In my heart there's a place called swampland 

nine parts water - one part sand 

In my heart there's a place called swampland 

nine parts water - one part sand
