Lump sat alone in a boggy marsh
Totally emotionless except for her heart
Mud flowed up into lump's pajamas
She totally confused all the passing piranhas
She's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead
Lump lingered last in line for brains
And the one she got was sorta rotten and insane
Small things so sad that birds could land
Is lump fast asleep or rockin' out with the band?
She's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead
Lump was limp and lonely and needed a shove
Lump slipped on a kiss and tumbled into love
She spent her twenties between the sheets
And life limped along at sub-sonic speeds
She's lump, she's lump
She's in my head
She's lump, she's lump, she's lump
She might be dead
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?
I think so
Is this lump outta my head?

ALrite guys check this out..its a simple little story hes telling...Lump in the dictionary means "Stupid"...so lump is refering to a girl, who he repeats as stupid, i guess trying to offend her. A boggy marsh is basically a plain peace of flat land that is very low so it gets covered with water often or all the time....with that explained you can get that the first verse is about a girl who was laying in some kind of pawn wich he states as a marsh. thats all shes doin, just laying there, the only thing that was moving was her heart. After that in the second verse it talks about how she "lingered last in line for brains"...saying she finally got the brains to move, she was slow to do it...but she did it. the third verse talks about how she found someone she loved and her life moved on.....the chorus and the ending makes more sense when you substitute "lump" for "stupid"....
She's STUPID, she's STUPID She's in my head She's STUPID, she's STUPID, she's STUPID She might be dead
Is this STUPID GIRL out of my head, I think so Is this STUPID GIRL out of my head, I think so, yeah Is this STUPID GIRL out of my head, I think so Is this STUPID GIRL out of my head . .
It can be the he gave us a story that metaphorically has meaning (LIKE "i come from the water" by the toadies)....so i can see it being a party girl who finally stoped partying and moved on in life.
i say brain tumor, boggy marsh is his brain, he says he is insane, etc., just my veiw on it.
it's like a therapy course.

@sivy1989 just read that the writer of the song (ballew) had a benign brain tumor at the time and had a vision of a woman in a swamp. Used the word "lump" because he liked it. So you're way off on your meaning
