Goldfish Bowl Lyrics

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
Beating, I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl
It's sink or swim

The hall down town just burnt to the ground
My boxin' ring turned to ash
Redhead, gingerbread, sells tickets at the door
Stella sleepwalks in the sand

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