Fish |
Have a fish nailed |
To a cross |
On my apartment wall |
It sings to me with glassy eyes |
And quotes from Kafka |
I sings to me An eel is squirming on my couch |
He’s talking up a storm |
I’m laughing at his face |
He slithers down across the floor |
I’m laughing |
Have a man |
It follows my hips with his hands |
Don’t worry (I'm laughing) |
Dance in the road (I have a man) |
And it explodes |
(It follows my lips with his melting eyes) |
Don’t worry |
Dance in the road |
Fellow turns a fishy eye from the counter |
I feel at his hand |
Stalking in the grey |
The girl behind the counter |
Sees a fin (school) |
An eel slithers to the chalkboard |
It writes 1 plus 1 plus 2 plus 3 plus 4 plus 5 |
plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 plus 6 |
Don’t worry |
Dance in the road |
And it explodes |
Don’t worry |
Dance in the road |
The house is reeling |
I’m kneeling by the tub |
Lonely is as lonely does |
Lonely is an eyesore |
The feeling describes itself |
Have a man |
It follows my hips with his hands |
I’m laughing |
At a man |
It follows my lips with his melting eyes |
Don’t worry |
Dance in the road |
And it explodes |
Don’t worry |
Dance in the road |
Eye… |
I’m painting his eye in the middle of the floor |
Fish is frozen in my living room |
Stares out of a block of ice |
With one melting eye… eye… eye… |
(Whoo!) Aced it Sick |
