From the recording Ki 'a Lavaka
Lyrics
In the swamp
Been stuck for a while
Bout time to climb on out
Hitting bumps
Mile after mile
Pushing on and on and on somehow
There was hell to pay
Was not ok
I didn’t want to play
But better get up now, its time
Saw a ghost
But then I had to smile
Shows just how long that I’ve been on the out
I’m getting close
Or maybe in denial
Pushing on and on and on through all the doubt
There was hell to pay
Was not ok
I didn’t want to play
But better get up now, its time
Hell to pay
Just slept all day
As the sun slipped away
But time to get up now, all right?
Can’t help but be embarrassed
When I’m honest with myself
Not that it even matters
When I see somebody else
Somebody else
There was hell to pay
Was not ok
I didn’t want to play
But better get up now, its time
Hell to pay
Just slept all day
As the sun slipped away
But time to get up now, all right?
It's time to get on up now
