Lyrics Fish - Vic Chesnutt

Not the way it used to be
But it was never perfect or ideal
Fish out of water is all we eat
Internal combustion is bustin' my balls
Blanking my eyesight away
Throwing darts at a dartboard
Slinging slobber across the hall
Opening a leatherman
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 the net under trapeze swingers
Hollow as a plaster thing sitting on a radiator
And toxic as a brass ring
Soft sundog is fascinating
Loquacious waitress made us leave
Daddy needs no more proof
Little darling fell off the roof
Vortex snapped into sharper focus
Slicing myopic bogus away
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 the net under trapeze swingers
