LYRICS:
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 piranhas
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lum
She might be dead
Lump lingered last in line for brains
And the one she got was sort of rotten and insane
Small thing so sad that birds could
Is Lump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band?
And Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
She's spendin' twenties between the streets
And life limped along at the subsonic speeds
Is this lump outta my head
I think so
