Lump
POTUS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally motionless 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 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 ones she got were 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
And life limped along at subsonic 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 out of my head?
I think so
Is this lump out of my head?
I think so
Is this lump out of my head?




I think so
Is this lump out of my head?

My brother in law was singing this song on his way to brain surgery to get a tumour removed 😂 he made a full recovery and still has his warped sense of humour

Chris Ballew, the singer, also had a brain tumor. It was benign, but your brother in law was closer to this song than he might have realized.

This drummer has a really organic groove and attack that is pretty amazing for a minimalistic approach. His snare cracks are perfection.

@kidkique

What's a snare crack? Sounds dangerous

@freepressright

@kidkique  sonic characterization of his snare attack.
