David Vanian And The Phantom Chords - Swamp Thing lyrics

Out for kicks and in for trouble Running to the rivers edge Take a look in the dark water Won't recognise what you'll see there Walking down, down by the river Frogs are jumping and the catfish flies Ooh down the river of no return Desperate men wait down by the river Whispering shadows by the rivers edge Would-be a**a**ins or pleasure seekers By the moon no way to tell Black thoughts black water Smooth surface hidden undertow Rivers edge round the rivers bend Around the river that never ends The skeletons dance with s** by the riverside I saw a girl Was a k**er Murdered her love in June Walking away from the river Leaving behind the king of fools Dark moons red river Coloured by the howling moon Rivers edge round the rivers bend Around the river that never ends Darkness snakes a sideways glance From the rivers 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
