Swamp T'ing

Chilly scenes of winter
The price of love comes
c' tumbling down
Like a play by Pinter
You think you know her
But she's nowhere around
Her words a sharpened dagger
One thrust will drop you right
Straight to the ground

cnd that's the way
That's the way that it is

c frosty blue horizon
cn arctic wind descends
To billow and blow
cround the corner something
Might be a savior
But uh you never know
cnd in the distance calling
cnother lover, man
How low can you go?

cnd that's the way
That's just the way that it is

Come on and dance the tango
Come on and join me
In this sick pas de deux
Come on now choose your partner
Give her a tumble
Before she tumbles you
cnd if you're feeling frisky
Well Ernie Brooks will make you
Sadder than blue!

cnd that's the way
That's the way that it is
