dead fish floating
to the sea
one eye in the river
the other looks straight at me
sideways swimming
soon he will fly high
come on baby join my riddle club
I said no piece of dead fish
I got sain blood
running through my veins

you will find
what you need down here
you will find
what you never found up there

dry land makes you want to come down
in here it’s all right if you stand or fall

no piece of dead fish on the quay
there’s a better place for me to stay
besides it ain’t my fault
you were stupid enough to inhale
the waters you lived in
they made you look pale
the air will get you anyway
I can smell the answer
Is blowing in the wind my friend

you will find
what you need down here
you will find
what you never found up there

I said no piece of dead fish
I got sain blood running through my veins
sideways swimming
