Lyrics
Can't 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.
Something you fear has just come to town
It’s taking over the kids and its making them crazy
I'm staying at home and not joining in
So stay by my side and watch me
One circle one square one embrace
One look and one line on your face
One hair on your head’s outta place
So you might as well give up the race.
If you fall asleep you’re likely to miss
Take down the pictures and break down the walls
The marks on your back and the lines on your face
One thousand pictures
One circle one square one embrace
One look and one line on your face
One hair on your head’s outta place
So you might as well give up the race.
Down in the streets the light bulbs explode
Climb out the window and tell them you're leaving
Empty your pockets and hold out your hands
Pretend that you love me
