Poor Little Fish

Poor little fish, swimming in the water Hide behind the coattails of your father I've been alone so long I thought I'd never last Stuck up on a shelf like and old dusty hat But then you came along You put me on that throne Up into the sky Thought I saw Nick Cave down at the laundromat You put your hand in my hand and that was that Your perfume on my sleeve You lit my life like a Christmas tree Up into the sky Poor little fish, swimming in the water Hide behind the coattails of your father Y'know a cold, cold heart sleeps awful well While the maids vacuum the hall outside my cheap hotel room Then the shit came down Exploded to the ground Up into the sky Poor little fish, swimming in the water Hide behind the coattails of your father Where you are is who you are When you're sleeping Where you are is who you are When you're sleeping Poor little fish
