Goldfish Bowl

The same long faces in the workman's hall
Caramel crisp counts his birds
Cliff Chips lines up his dominoes
Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating
I'm beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim

The hall down town just burned, to the ground
My boxing ring turned to ash
Red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door
Stella sleep walks in the sand

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating
I'm beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim
They're looking in, they're looking in!

Hard up outta luck, time to ride the village bike
A bike been used ten times or more
Grapevine here's the wife lays down her royal flush
I think I've lost another wife

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating
I'm beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim
They're looking in, it's sink or swim
