Sometimes a Fish
SOMETIMES A FISH
A dead man said to me
You got a front row seat
Sit back enjoy the show
Nowhere you can go
Sit back enjoy the show
No mirrors, no strings attached
A simple slight of hand
There and then it's not
What was, is soon forgot
There and then it's not
And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is dying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue
That fish is laughing too
I sit, I stop and stare
I can't believe my eyes
Swallow all their pride
Dollars in their eyes
They swallow all their pride
It's rehearsed carefully
A hero every night
Nothing is for free
A fish might not agree
Nothing is for free
And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is buying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue
That fish is laughing too
There's lots of fancy talk
With nothin' being said
Written on the wall
The wise man's lonely call
Written on the wall
This can't be honesty, but who am I to say
Truth is something less
Best you don't confess
The truth is something less
And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is lying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue
That fish is laughing too
Casting a line to the sea
Fishes as far as I see
Casting a line to the sea
Those fish are just like you and me
A dead man said to me
You got a front row seat
Sit back enjoy the show
Nowhere you can go
Sit back enjoy the show
No mirrors, no strings attached
A simple slight of hand
There and then it's not
What was, is soon forgot
There and then it's not
And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is dying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue
That fish is laughing too
I sit, I stop and stare
I can't believe my eyes
Swallow all their pride
Dollars in their eyes
They swallow all their pride
It's rehearsed carefully
A hero every night
Nothing is for free
A fish might not agree
Nothing is for free
And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is buying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue
That fish is laughing too
There's lots of fancy talk
With nothin' being said
Written on the wall
The wise man's lonely call
Written on the wall
This can't be honesty, but who am I to say
Truth is something less
Best you don't confess
The truth is something less
And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is lying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue
That fish is laughing too
Casting a line to the sea
Fishes as far as I see
Casting a line to the sea
Those fish are just like you and me
