Fizzy Fish

Looking like it's gonna be a hot one out on the lake today

You know it rained all last week?

(Yeah, I wonder what the fish think to all this?) If fish think at all, that is

Maybe that's why the opinions gathered by the think tanks always stink

They only ask the thick fish

Thick fish with fat fins and toothless grins, all mouth and no ears

Fizzing with thick ideas

Do you remember fizzy fish?

You used to drop 'em in yer drink and watch the bubbles strip the crystal from the gelatin

Do sick fish sink? They float to the top when they're dead though

The things going on in my head y'know

I'm weird me, dead weird

The man I've become wouldn't abandon the boy I used to be

So come down here and talk to me

I've been dragged through the mud until I'm so washed up it feels good

But you just can't trust an open book

Told everyone everything I've ever known, now everybody knows I was accident-prone

♪

Cool night tonight out on the lake

Followed on from the hottest day I could ever recall if memory serves correct

Can't remember 'em all see

But I spoke to the fish though and as it goes

The weather is irrelevant when they're nibbling at my toes

I'm chipping away at the coal face of my own self-loathing

A wolf in sheep's clothing, I'm a danger to my own health

But you've gotta love yourself see

So I'm taking my own ego down to the bistro of the soul, come find me

I'll be wearing a dead carnation on my coat

Ayy

Back again, are we?

Back in black, mourning the last chance you had in this life to get back on track (you prat)

Yeah, not much has changed my end

Though most of my opposable thumbs are all gone

Eyelids, earlobes, nostrils too

Made mother nature faint

She was sweating buckets when she saw my face

Knees started shaking again, blood sugar levels remain unstable (it was a mess)

(Zombie Age) I wouldn't wish that on me

I'm glad you came back though, it's a long road to walk alone

And God knows I should've known but I'm accident-prone (you acted alone!)

So, sling addiction and a kid in just to sweeten up that mix

It happened so fast that I broke the one thing I could ever fix (purify me)

How about one last crack at it before we quit the biz?

It's a complete and utter swizz

But only you know how I feel

There's no such thing as mistakes

Just the creation of new situations with which we have to deal

So here we are, you can't have it both ways

But no one's really checking in

So, stay strange and be ace

Keep that silly grin plastered across your stupid face

And what are you suggesting?

That parents worry too much about their children, or what?

I, I, I don't know that I've

I've had quite a few mothers, just saying that I'm this and that

And I thought, well, really?

I'm sure lots of these children just come out and don't do anything

Except watch television or go out to play or go to the disco

But you, you, you have to work
