Goldfish Bowl

Same long faces in the workman's hall

Caramel Crisp counts his birds

Cliff chips lines up his dominoes

Kingfisher lead singer calms his nerves

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming

I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning

I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating

Beating, I'm eating,

I'm deep in a goldfish bowl

It's sink or swim

The hall down town just burnt to the ground

My boxin' ring turned to ash

Redhead, gingerbread, sells tickets at the door

Stella sleepwalks in the sand

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming

I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning

I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating

Beating, I'm eating,

I'm deep in a goldfish bowl

It's sink or swim

Looking in, they're looking in

Hard up, outta luck, time to ride the village bike

A bike been used ten times or more

Grapevine, here's the wife, lays down her royal flush

I think I've lost another wife

I'm drinking, sinking, swimming

I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning

I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating

Beating, I'm eating,

I'm deep in a goldfish bowl

It's sink or swim

They're lookin' in, it's sink or swim
