This whole album is amazing, the best thing I've heard for years, maybe ever. This song has got its claws into me especially right now. Thank you for making this you beautiful, insane geniuses.
Dear Swamp-Ass Back from Bermuda just in time Here from the past, present, future I'm sweatin', babe My primordial soup needs salt, anyways I got my style, claws So let them cyborgs feel my dino-war Now listen here, little monkey Straight out the sea foam wormhole They've come to take our bones But we won't be trophies for no system jumping surfing cyborgs on safari! Lasers on them lizards? We got 'em beat (No!) Tokamak eugenics? We got 'em beat (Uh!) Neutral beam injection? We got 'em beat, yeah! 'Cause all I've ever needed was my style, claws Some say a tactical tyrant of sorts Now heed my warning... Little monkey, carry on Now give 'em the slip Cambrian bomb, all set, gonna blow Little monkey, don't belong, carry on home Save your mammalian heart Straight out the sea foam wormhole They've come to take our bones But we won't be trophies for no system jumping surfing cyborgs on safari! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! They're on a crusade from a planet with three moons in orbit They're here to harvest, and they're pissing off stegosaurus Sure, us prehistoric cats haven't got no titanium But we're predatory, the glory is in our DNA Lasers on them lizards? We got 'em beat (No!) Tokamak eugenics? We got 'em beat (Uh!) Neutral beam injection? We got 'em beat, yeah! 'Cause all I've ever needed was my style, my claws, my rage, it's raw They'll wipe out on our Mesozoic shores Wanna see our prized pterodactyl? She's in her very own Tithonian-era metal band She's got a sexy case of the she-banshees If she's warmed up enough... warmed up enough Little monkey, carry on Now give 'em the slip Cambrian bomb, all set, gonna blow Little monkey, don't belong, carry on home Save your mammalian heart Little monkey, carry on Now give 'em the slip Cambrian bomb, all set, gonna blow Little monkey, don't belong, carry on home Don't wanna hear you say: "I can't keep my hopes up, no no" The Deinonychus swarm in tow "I can't keep my hopes up, no no" "I can't keep my hopes up when there's raptors in the kitchen!" It's a boss battle with times-zero potions Tell me, what's a dinosaur to do? It's a boss battle with chipset emotions Maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew So it's back to Bermuda, got no time Lost in the past, present, future, I got my; Style, claws, and that's all B l i g h t ~
My old band ripped the guitar solo at the the end of this song and made it the intro to our setlist back when we used to play live. The solo would be improvised though so it wasn't like a one to one rip off, more like an ode to this band's glory. The moment the solo drops it kicks me in the teeth every damn time like an asteroid wiping out the dinosaurs.
the concept of this song is absolutely insane
Bro legit wrote three different choruses and put them all in the same song
Favorite song on the album. Can't stop listening to this album, especially this song; album of the year so far for me. Awesome song name too.

Dear Swamp-Ass
Back from Bermuda just in time
Here from the past, present, future
I'm sweatin', babe
My primordial soup needs salt, anyways
I got my style, claws
So let them cyborgs feel my dino-war
Now listen here, little monkey
Straight out the sea foam wormhole
They've come to take our bones
But we won't be trophies for no system jumping surfing cyborgs on safari!
Lasers on them lizards? We got 'em beat (No!)
Tokamak eugenics? We got 'em beat (Uh!)
Neutral beam injection? We got 'em beat, yeah!
'Cause all I've ever needed was my style, claws
Some say a tactical tyrant of sorts
Now heed my warning...
Little monkey, carry on
Now give 'em the slip
Cambrian bomb, all set, gonna blow
Little monkey, don't belong, carry on home
Save your mammalian heart
Straight out the sea foam wormhole
They've come to take our bones
But we won't be trophies for no system jumping surfing cyborgs on safari!
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
They're on a crusade from a planet with three moons in orbit
They're here to harvest, and they're pissing off stegosaurus
Sure, us prehistoric cats haven't got no titanium
But we're predatory, the glory is in our DNA
Lasers on them lizards? We got 'em beat (No!)
Tokamak eugenics? We got 'em beat (Uh!)
Neutral beam injection? We got 'em beat, yeah!
'Cause all I've ever needed was my style, my claws, my rage, it's raw
They'll wipe out on our Mesozoic shores
Wanna see our prized pterodactyl?
She's in her very own Tithonian-era metal band
She's got a sexy case of the she-banshees
If she's warmed up enough... warmed up enough
Little monkey, carry on
Now give 'em the slip
Cambrian bomb, all set, gonna blow
Little monkey, don't belong, carry on home
Save your mammalian heart
Little monkey, carry on
Now give 'em the slip
Cambrian bomb, all set, gonna blow
Little monkey, don't belong, carry on home
Don't wanna hear you say:
"I can't keep my hopes up, no no"
The Deinonychus swarm in tow
"I can't keep my hopes up, no no"
"I can't keep my hopes up when there's raptors in the kitchen!"
It's a boss battle with times-zero potions
Tell me, what's a dinosaur to do?
It's a boss battle with chipset emotions
Maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew
So it's back to Bermuda, got no time
Lost in the past, present, future, I got my;
Style, claws, and that's all
B l i g h t ~
Good on ya
This song is beautiful
album of the year for me too... so blissfully odd.

great artists steal
@@HenryGreenEngine3 exactly ;)
vastly underrated album
That guitar solo baby
La amo y la seguiré amando hasta el dia de mi muerte
4:45 FUUUUUUUUUUUU
Is it just me or does anyone else get that Led Zeppelin bluesy feel in this song?
2:13 is the part you're looking for :wish:
Pure blues/rock sex and truth
Is this a Zelda reference though
