lyrics

Why can't I be a fish?
Then I won't feel like this.
All day just swim, it's bliss,
Till hooks pull on my lips.

Straight from boat to market changing hands,
Now my gills are dry and I feel stranded.
Falling from the fry-pan to the fire,
Not the warm feeling I felt before.
I think I've lost friends to this before,
They were all hooked to lines to where I've landed.
Falling from the fry-pan to the floor,
I grow legs, I'm running out the door.

Now I'm more man than fish,
Get job, buy house, exist.
Why can't I be a fish?
Then I won't feel like this.

Trade me roads for oceans, web my hands,
Now my gills are dry and lungs expanding.
Running through the waves, cut through the foam,
Swimming out to sea to find my home.
Friends don't recognize me anymore,
They're all fish but I'm a fish no more.
I swallowed so much water trying to talk,
I blacked out and woke up on the shore.

Why can't I be a fish?
