When I Swarm Songtext
von Underthings

The sound of friction fills the air
Listen: hear the buzzing there
Watch me sculpt the wax into a prism
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I use my tongue to lick the nectar
I′m a badass nectar collector
I'm not superfly, I′m a superorganism
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Although I'm not so very large
Got an electrostatic charge
And my crib is nice and warm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm a blossom-hoppin′ pollinator
A sick nectar regurgitator
Better watch me when I swarm


When I swarm, when I swarm
When I swarm, when I swarm
When I swarm, when I swarm
When I swarm, when I swarm
Suckin′ nectar from the flower
Swarmin' ′cause I got the power

My roller coaster ride is sweet
The taste of honey can't be beat
I′m a worker that never has to rest
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Assassin bugs hide there unseen
The queen is dead, love live the queen
I go out, scout, to find another nest
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I do my dance to make my maps
I'm fighting colony collapse
I fly before the storm
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Don′t get hung up on my sting
Just trying to do my thing
Come on, watch me when I swarm


When I swarm, when I swarm
When I swarm, when I swarm
When I swarm, when I swarm
When I swarm, when I swarm
Suckin' nectar from the flower
Swarmin' ′cause I got the power

When I swarm
When I swarm
When I swarm
When I swarm
When I swarm
When I swarm
When I swarm
When I swarm
