Vic Chesnutt - Fish lyrics

Not the way it used to be
But it was never a perfect deal
Fish outta water is all you need
Internal combustion is busting my balls
Taking my eyesight away
Throwing darts at a dartboard
Slinging slobber across a hall
Opening a leather man? To wrench
Out an inner demon

Double dutch bus is coming down the street
Stopping at the homes of all your enemies

And the spotlight is hot
And it'll burn your fingers!
And dry rot can get under trapeze swings
Hollow as a plaster thing
Sitting on a radiator
And toxic as a brass ring
Soft sung I'll be fascinating
The loquacious waitress made us leave
Daddy needs no more grief
Little darling fell off the roof

Oh jack snapped into sharper focus
Slicing myopic fungus away and the
Spotlight is hot and
It'll burn your fingers! And dry rot will
Get under trapeze swings
