Nellie Mckay Swept Away
I'm swept away
Yes, I'm off the ground flying
Swept away
Yesterday's all but gone
Like a hurricane
You are tossing me 'round
And I'm swept away
And today you're the one
For society
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
And you go, oh, no
For propriety
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
And you go, no, no
But now I'm swept away
Yes, I'm past the sound barrier
Swept away
Yesterday's all but done
Like a Novocain shooting
Up through my arms faster
Swept away
And today you're the one
For society
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
And you go, oh, no
For propriety
Shimmy, shimmy, shimmy
And you go, no, no
But now I'm swept away
Yes, I'm past the sound barrier
Swept away
Yesterday's all but done
Like election day you are
Robbing me blind mister
Swept away
And today you're the one
