Fishlands
Deirdre Flint

Eddie's trying to make it with the scuba diver

Katie's sacked out in the treasure chest

Bobby's floatin' lifeless on the top of the bowl

We warned him one more flake would be his death


Crazy Jane got her name from eating her own young

Man we all swim a wide path around her

Me, I was inhaling bubbles just lookin' for trouble

When Mrs. Murphy moved the furniture


Now she's got us by a big picture window

With a clear view of the Jersey bay far below

And it drew us all together except Bobby of course

To talk about primordial things that fish just seem to know


And Eddie relayed stories his old man told him

'Bout a place he lived in the past

Where you could swim all day and swim all night

And never even hit the glass


Crazy Jane said, I might be crazy okay

But even I don't believe that fish story

Larry laughed and said, Eddie's just like his old man

Talking trash 'bout his days of glory



Well, Eddie didn't even call Larry out on that shot

He just kept starin' at the water below

Well, we never did think he would blow that tank

Then Mrs. Murphy opened the window


Well, the window got shut but me and Katie been thinkin'

We'll be ready to go by spring

But then, I got Katie pregnant and man that was all she wrote

But fortunately, Crazy Jane ate our offspring


'Cause there's life beyond these Pyrex walls

Will we make it, man, I don't know

Will we get to the water will we crash on the docks?

Either way, what a way to go


The Fishlands


We're gonna get to that place

It's gonna be real slick

We're gonna find out the truth
