Lyrics
Goldfish Bowl
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.
The same long faces in the workman's hall,
Caramel crisp counts his birds,
Cliff chip's lines up his dominoes,
King fisher, lead singer calms his nerves.
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating,
I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.
It's sink or swim
The hall down town just burned to the ground,
My boxing ring turned to ash,
Red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door,
Stella sleep walks in the sand.
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating,
I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.
It's sink or swim
They're looking in, they're looking in!
Hard up outta luck, time to ride the village bike,
A bike been used ten times or more,
Grape vine hears the wife lays down her royal flush,
I think I've lost another wife.
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating,
I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.
It's sink or swim
They're looking in, its sink or swim.
