Beneath the Piano

Well I've been going for a couple of years

And it seems that the answer, it is coming quite clear

Oh, I don't even know what I am doing here

But I can drive with my eyes closed and play by ear

And I can sleep beneath the piano

Just like that's my natural home

With all those keys I never feel alone

And I can sleep beneath the piano

Just like that's my natural home

With all those keys I never feel alone

I met a girl in a sleepy town down by the sea

She swore she didn't want nothing from me

Now if you ever hear that line, boy, don't you dare believe

Oh, there ain't nothing but you lose in that bitter recipe

When I left town she had those tears in her eyes

I ain't one for no emotional goodbye

So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home

Couple more drinks, she don't know she's alone

Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea

A couple more drinks, she forgot all about me

Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me

It's like it ain't no kind of competition, indeed

They said: Hey boy, have you ever been stabbed before?

I said: Not yet-- I'm grabbing my hat and just heading for the door

I made my way down to that rich side of town

Where everybody's tossing big words around

But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown

I hear those whispers like rain just a' falling on down

Say he drinks like a fish, and he gonna fly like a stone

Boy is better off left alone

They say he drinks like a fish, and he gonna fly like a stone

Boy is better off left alone.
