Fishing |
Please have a seat, sorry, I’m late |
I know how long you’ve had to wait |
I did not forget your documents |
No time to waste, why not begin? |
Here’s how it works, I’ve got these faces |
You give the names, I won’t deport you |
Make sure you face my tape recorder |
Make no mistake, this fountain pen |
Could put you on a plane by ten |
And by the way, your next of kin |
I know each house she’s hiding in |
So now that you know whose skin you’re saving |
In this photograph, who’s this one waving? |
I think you know, so speak up, amigo |
Says here that by trade you were a fisherman |
Well, I’ll bet you Indians can really reel them in |
And if you get the chance |
You should try to get up to Lake Michigan |
Well, maybe but then again, anyway |
Where were we then? |
Is he your friend? |
I recommend you look again |
Where does he stay? |
What is his name? |
There is no shame, he’d do the same |
So what do you say? |
Don’t have all day |
It’s up to you, which will it be |
Good citizen or poor campesinos? |
My dad used to rent us this place in Ontario |
He showed us how to cast the line and tie the flies |
He used to say God rewards us for letting the small ones go |
Well, maybe but I don’t know |
Anyway, it’s easy to bite, can’t snap a lie |
Just take the bait, can’t fight the hook |
Hurts less if you don’t try to dive |
Senor, as you know I was a fisherman |
How full the nets came in |
We hauled them up by hand |
But when we fled |
I left them just out past the coral reefs |
They’re waiting there for me |
Running deep |
