When you bait me when you hook me
What a stupidity
I shall dance between the water and the sky

Oh why'd you make me
Yearn so much for your touch
You don't know what this means

Oblivion's your piece
All I'll say is "stand-offish"
You see all the world but me

What is your destiny ?
Is your name Steve ?
You don't know

You see everything but me
Silver and slippery
I'm just a fish

When you throw me into the ocean
Can't find the fisherman
Isn't he a silly ignoramus ?

Why can't he understand ?
Can't he see that he's you ?
And you are him, too ?

All I'll say is I'm a fish
When you finally realize this
It may be too late

Cos the fish is swimming far beneath
And never will leap again
So you'd best rush for time

And fling out that line
All I'll say is "stand-off-fish"
You see all the world but me
What is your destiny ?

Is your name Steve ?
You don't know
You see everything but me

Silver and slippery
I'm just a fish
