Playing Harp for the Fishes |
| A mute undertaker had something to tell |
| I stand at the threshold, I’m ringing the bell |
| I was hoping for heaven, I’d settle for hell |
| Playing harp for the fishes, it’s hard to pretend |
| Playing… |
| Patrolling the margins, inspecting the swell |
| Located the body south of Land’s End |
| I’d long missed the boat, the tide had gone slack |
| Playing harp for the fishes, it’s hard to pretend |
| Playing… |
| The heat was zinc, my mood was black |
| I was melting, soaked, in a trackside shack |
| I was frying in heaven, I was diving to hell |
| Playing harp for the fishes, it’s hard to pretend |
| Playing… |
| Is it always so? |
| It’s always so… |
