Starfish Bowl Songtext

von Soapstone

Trouble on your left
Trouble on your right
You know your job is killin' you
You ain't got no strenght to fight
Turn on your T.V. to
Escape from what is real
Your mind is tuned to zero
Staring at your starfish bowl

Jimmy had been lonesome
For thirty years on more
Until one day he went shopping
Got himself a plastic whor
He called his bride melinda
Filled her with his breath
Their lovin' lasts forever
Together in a starfish bowl

"Starfish, I know you ain't real
But the truth can be so mean
What i've got ain't what I need
Starfish, get me out of here."

Bonnie was a starlet
A second-string monroe
She starred in half a movie
Back home she stole the show
But now that she has lost it
Don't tell her she's old
The mirror's out the window
Her head is in a starfish bowl

"Starfish, I know you ain't real
But the truth can be so mean
What i've got ain't what I need
Starfish, get me out of here."
