Lump
The Presidents of the United States of America
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh Totally emotionless except for her heart Mud flowed up into lump's pajamas She totally confused all the passing pihranas She's lump, she's lump She's in my head She's lump, she's lump, she's lump She might be dead Lump lingered last in line for brains And the one she got was sorta rotten and insane Small things so sad that birds could land Is lump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band? She's lump, she's lump She's in my head She's lump, she's lump, she's lump She might be dead Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love She spent her twenties between the sheets Life limped along at sub-sonic speeds She's lump, she's lump She's in my head She's lump, she's lump, she's lump She might be dead Is this lump outta my head? I think so Is this lump outta my head? I think so Is this lump outta my head? I think so Is this lump outta my head?
