Swim like a fish
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Theyu found him floating
more that 22 miles from the bridge
he was a tough kid
They found and swollen
but anyone could have told him
not to grow so quick
swim like afish, upstream,
to where the river is deep
pushed too hard in all directions
till he ran out of luck
cut every corner
till finally they shut him up
fifty kilo stone in a bag
tied to his feet
don't let it be complicated
there's aright place and a right time
some rules are sacred
it's dangerous to cross that line
everybody's going to recognise
what you are trying to disguise
swim like a fish, upstream, to where the river is deep
swim like a fish, upstream, to where the river is deep
nice and easy going with the dream
that will wake you up
don't let it get complicated
