Fish Eyes lyrics

I feel the same as the very first day I came

And I hang my head in shame to think of how it came to this

Those ancient rules they got written in the glowing pools

That my greatest granddad pulled his wretched body outta

A long time ago

Only if your gills suck fern exhaust

Only if you grow two hearts

Pumping out red and blue through

The causeways and the avenues

Some film got lifted from the back of a cargo bay

Smuggled up to penthouse A of a 13 story nest

The landlord cranked all night and projected future woes

Out two west-facing windows, kept his ears to the north and south

Kept his ears to the north and south

They're guiding you back

To a glowing pool where your fish eyes work

They're guiding you back

The foundation cracked and the birds all left the nest

Looking out for second best 'cause it's only July

Someone got crushed and her legs curled into candy canes

But she didn't feel a spot of pain she'd lost some limbs before

A long time ago

A tenant below suffocated just a little

Yes, a tenant below poured an extra glass

A tenant below cracked the spine of a feng shui guide

My supper crashed to the floor

As fish eyes dragged herself

Back to the glowing pool

My greatest granddad said

I'll see you soon

Back in the glowing pool

A tenant below started boiling some water

Yes, a tenant below rang a sympathetic ear

A tenant below put a magnet in a pillowcase

Pumping out red and blue

Through the causeways and avenues

Kept his ears to the north and south

They're guiding you back

To a glowing pool where your fish eyes work

They're guiding you back
