Poor Little Fish Lyrics

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 an 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

I've been alone so long I thought I'd never last

Stuck up on a shelf like an old dusty hat

But then you came along

You put me on that throne

Up into the sky

You 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

I've been alone so long I thought I'd never last

Stuck up on a shelf like an old dusty hat

But then you came along

You put me on that throne

Up into the sky

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, 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 an old dusty hat

But then you came along

You put me on that throne

Up into the sky
