Salt Water 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.

All I can see is what I've fried

And all the world in your black eye.

I'll run in circles all the time

I'll gather up all that is mine,

Into the room inside my head,

The walls are black, the roof is red.

And fiery like a volcano

I wear it like a massive halo

This pretty speckled length of twine

That's wrapped around your neck is mine.

A ruby rose, stiffed and froze is what I give to you

I'll run in circles all the time

I'll gather up all that is mine,

Into the room inside my head,

The walls are black, the roof is red.

If I could taste your salty head,

And pick the dead hair from your eyes,

Let your smell the sweet despise,

Those peaks and throughs, guts for a valley,

Are a dead sean in my back alley,

How tall and wide you have to get,

How big and dark and badly lit,

And if I said I did, would you believe me,

And I showed you gold, would you see through me

And if tomorrow didn't come,

Would you?

I'll run in circles all the time

I'll gather up all that is mine,

Into the room inside my head,

The walls are black, the roof is red.

I'll run in circles all the time

I'll gather up all that is mine,

Into the room inside my head,

The walls are black, the roof is red.

I'll run in circles all the time

I'll gather up all that is mine,

Into the room inside my head...
