[Verse 1] Well the word got out from the county line, ‘Bout a winged-up freak in the pines at night, Sheriff set traps and the preacher prayed, But I just laughed as I circled their graves. [Pre-Chorus] Moon turned red and the wind got mean, Whole damn swamp started hummin’ with me… [Chorus] Now we’re buzzin’ like thunder in a summer storm, Got a thousand more just like me transformin’, From one bad bite to a whole new breeder— Welcome to the swarm of the Super Skeeter! [Verse 2] Used to be alone with my curse and sting, Now I got a choir that can really sing, Every drop you spill just feeds the hive, Turn one of y’all and we multiply. [Pre-Chorus] Hear that whine? That ain’t the breeze, That’s a million wings in the black oak trees… [Chorus] Now we’re buzzin’ through the holler, tearin’ through the heat, Got a taste for blood and the rhythm of your heartbeat, Ain’t no cure and there ain’t no leader— Just the rise of the plague of the Super Skeeter! [Bridge] They lit the fields on fire, tried to smoke us out, But the flames just danced while we swarmed around, You can run, you can hide, you can lock your doors, But we seep through cracks and the cabin floors… (Spoken, gravelly) “You ain’t swattin’ this no more…” [Verse 3] Now the cities hum with a low dread sound, Streetlights flicker when we come around, From trailer parks to the neon bars, We’re writin’ our names in a sky of scars. [Pre-Chorus] Used to be a man with a broke-down van… Now I’m somethin’ they don’t understand… [Final Chorus] Now we’re buzzin’ over highways, black as sin, Every bite’s another brother let in, From backwoods curse to a world-wide bleeder— Bow down to the reign of the Super Skeeter! [Outro] Once was a man… now I’m everywhere… Better keep your windows shut… …but I’m already there.
