Swallowed
Appears on:  Nico

Recorded at: Kingsway Studio, New Orleans November 1994

Shannon: vocals
Brad: bass
Rogers: guitar
Christopher: guitar
Glen: drums

Produced by: Andy Wallace and Blind Melon

Live Performances: None that we know of

Notes:
Glen: The first album was "This is where I came from,"  the second album was, "Look what I've become" and then there's the third album. It's just classic rock & roll stuff. The first time I met Shannon, I thought to myself, "I hate this person. I don't wanna be around him and I know he hates me." But I grew to understand him more and more and I think he grew to understand me.

Rogers: A dark tune left open for interpretation. I never got the clear meaning of it from Shannon, but it's easy to guess. Another song about his demons.

Lyrics:
Come down from the ceiling
Oh, these pills were made for feeling
Oh, so divine
I've got a lump in my throat
So I'll keep hold of hope
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a lump in my throat
And it makes it hard to swallow
That's why we'll crawl to walk for running
Oh there's not so much more in store
That's why we'll never, ever divide
I've got a lump in my throat
So, I'll keep hold of hope
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I've got a lump in my throat
And it makes it hard to swallow
Telling me winning is now or never
Seems like nobody really cares
Because they're just killing my time
They're just killing my time
Don't you know they're just killing my time
