You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high-classed friends, you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are...
You're dreaming your life away...
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today...
Fish out of water
We used to sit and talk about primal scream
To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And now the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
You're dreaming your life away...
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today...
Fish out of water
You're dreaming your life away...
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today...
Fish out of water
