Artist/Band: The Mountain Goats
Lyrics for Song: How to Embrace a Swamp Creature
Lyrics for Album: Heretic Pride [2008]



Got out of bed, could not remember my own name

Condemned to walk the soil amongst all creatures wild and tame

Go where I go, do what I must

Crawl starving on my belly

Licking up the dry dust



I See the light in your window

Ride the elevator to the sixth floor

Stand with my arms at my sides as you open up the door

But I'm out of my element I can't breathe

I'm out of my element

I can't breathe



Alone with your bathroom mirror

Try to get my head straight

Breathe on the glass and wait for it to clear

Clean slate



Meet up with you in the kitchen

Where the air is hot and dry

Open up all the faucets

Be fruitful and multiply



I stand where the flashing swords gleam

And I try to shake my head clear of the dream

But I'm out of my element I can't breathe

I'm out of my element

I can't breathe



I start to sweat I can't cool down

I'm scared of all the strangers in this town

I try to tell you just why I've come

It's like I've got molasses on my tongue



I made it through town somehow

But who's going to save me now?

I'm out of my element I can't breathe

I'm out of my element

I can't breathe
