Lyrics
Swallowed In The Pocket
© 2009 Arndt and Glynn. All Rights Reserved.
Verse 1
She's strong enough
To take any man down, down to the ground
Leaving you weak, in her ecstacy
She's a poisonous rain
Wrapped in a summer breeze
Pre 1
She says, "baby please...one more dance with me
You're gonna feel so nice...giving up the fight"
Then she swallows my soul
Chorus 1, 3
You really want to stop
But you can't say no
Such a tight spot
When you're sinking so low
Your heart's beating crazy
Burning out of control
Yeah that's how life goes down
When you get swallowed in the pocket
Verse 2
She brings dark with her light
Sorrow with her habitual highs
Destroying dreams, and reality
Always dressed up so nice
But it's all a disguise
Pre 2
She says, "hey my love...nothing to be frightened of
When we start to play it'll be a beautiful day"
Then she swallowed my soul
Chorus 2
You really want to stop
But something says go
Feeling red hot
But the chills got you cold
Your hearts beating crazy
'Cause the devil's got a hold
Yeah that's how life goes down
When you've been swallowed in the pocket
Bridge
Trusted friend, I'm betrayed
As my life, you took away
Now my loss, is what you gain
Your slippery path, fills one more grave
