The Uncluded - The Aquarium lyrics

Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass

Just this morning I heard a prehistoric mass
In a river water tank utter
"Please don't tap the glass, thanks"
"Hold a moment, " told him
"As an overgrown oaf in a coat of
Exposed bone you are not afloat alone"
Choked up, poking his nose in the moat, cold
"We have all known combing
Gross mouths foaming dough down
Particles of broken code
Exploding in a chip and soda coma
Slowly overdosing"
Rovers opposite the jellyfish and stars


"You were jelly of the
Colors and regenerating arms
Set to entertain a couple thousand
Suckers for a charge
And you can not shake the feeling
You are being fucking farmed
Great fossil, knowledgeable and docile
Dry land's nice but the
Slants quite hostile -
Here, equal parts passive and aggressive"
He said "If that's the case then
Brother help me flash the message"

Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
(Water augments that tap to a crash)
Please don't tap on the glass
("Here fishy fishy" is a bad forecast)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)

Today a creature with a body
Like mine drifted by
Said "Please don't tap on the glass, mm hi"
Urban turban muumuu, mama vacationing
Cow of the sea
Worlds outside your window stationing
Me at my post do I look
Inside jealously at you wanting out
Not knowing propellers slice deli meat
Meeting of the mind's eye through the glass
Giving thanks for the sea where nobody's a
Big fish in a small tank
Do you slow motion float through
A confined free ride
Or run the risk of getting
Chopped up to bit's outside?
Is there anywhere that you can
Find a little balance between
Small cell prisoner and motor boat madness?
Does being free mean needing to
Be open to the sadness
Where gentle giants bitter-sweetly
Half-fill oily chalice?
She says "If you figure out how to
Forge your own way"
When your peepers spy the creepers
Raise their fingers up, please say

Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
(Water augments that tap to a crash)
Please don't tap on the glass
("Here fishy fishy" is a bad forecast)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)

I float alongside flotsam, caked in bad algae
I deep throat choke spirulina
Blended collard greens
Land barracuda breed quicker than
The water ones
Brand name spawn slaughter estée
Launder college funds
Nobody want a lesson in
The seedy lesser species
They want a hot pretzel and a
Seat at the penguin feeding
Little fingers dodge the slimy cukes
Here in the touch tank
No one gives us bottom feeders
So much as a "Yo, thanks" i jump sharks too
Not the kind that sink a fang in
The kind that make the people closest
To you think you're Satan
So escaping through a cradle
Of accumulated plankton
To a man without his footing
Pretty frankly sounds amazing
Change my charlie tune
Can open water entry cod chop
Sic balls, surface dive butterfly, belly flop
Hooked by a line or by a crabby pot drop
If it gets too heavy trim a
Little jetsam off the top

Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
(Water augments that tap to a crash)
Please don't tap on the glass
("Here fishy fishy" is a bad forecast)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)

Please don't tap on the glass
Please don't tap on the glass
(Water augments that tap to a crash)
Please don't tap on the glass
("Here fishy fishy" is a bad forecast)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
Please don't tap on the glass
(First tap never once double as the last)
