Lyrics
Fishhouse
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 creature from the black lagoon
you might say
is prophecy for the world today
All that's black come out of the bay
Oil spill kill bill has a price to pay
Dead bloated whale
with flies in his eyes
seen the future much to his demise
Pooned and doomed left to rot and die
Big stench floatin' that you can't deny
Mothers brothers swim in fathoms of tears
Crying this message for thousands of years
Fishhouse--Mediterranean blues
Fishhouse--Subterranean fuse
Fishhouse--Test sight and missile abuse
Fishhouse--Neptune's got so much to lose
Otters eating lead in an oyster bed
Slag heap come turn the whole thing red
Aleutian seagull dried up and dead
Plutonium cocktail toxic head
Mothers brothers swim in fathoms of tears
Crying this message for thousands of years
Fishhouse--Mediterranean blues
Fishhouse--Subterranean fuse
Fishhouse--Test sight and missile abuse
Fishhouse--Neptune's got so much to lose
He's drowning
He going down--going down
My trophy friend is hanging on the wall
Urine the water now let's have a ball--swimmin'
