Fishlands Lyrics - Singles - 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 shes 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 

About Moby Dick
