"Fish"
(written by Kristin Hersh)
I...
Have a fish nailed to a
cross on my apartment wall
It sings to me with glassy
eyes
And quotes from Kafka
It sings to me
An eel is squirming on my
couch,
He's talking up a storm
I'm laughing at his face,
He slithers down across
the floor
I'm laughing
I have a man
It follows my hips with
his hands
Don't worry, dance in the
road (I'm laughing at a man)
And it explodes (It follows
my lips with his melting eyes)
Don't worry, dance in the
road
Fellow turns a fishy eye
from the counter
I feel at his hand
Stalking in the grey
The girl behind the counter
sees a fin
School
An eel slithers to the chalkboard,
it writes
1+2+3+4+5+6+6+6+6+6
Don't worry, dance in the
road
And it explodes
Don't worry, dance in the
road
The house is reeling
I'm kneeling by the tub
Lonely is as lonely does
Lonely is an eyesore
The feeling describes its
self
I have a man
It follows my hips with
his hands
I'm laughing at a man
It follows my lips with
his melting eyes
Don't worry, dance in the
road
And it explodes
Don't worry, dance in the
road
The house is reeling
I'm kneeling by the tub
Lonely is as lonely does
Lonely is an eyesore
The feeling describes its
self
Don't worry, dance in the
road (I have a man)
And it explodes (it follows
my hips with his hands)
Don't worry, dance in the
road
I, I'm painting his eye
in the middle of the floor
Fish is frozen in my living
room
Stares out of a block of
ice with one melting eye
Eye, eye, eye, eye
I... fall
