Poor Little Fish lyrics

[Chorus]
Poor little fish
Swimming in the water
Hide behind the coattails of your father

[Verse 1]
I've been alone so long, I thought I'd never last
Stuck up on a shelf like an old dusty hat, yeah
But then you came along
You put me on that throne
Up into the sky, yeah

[Verse 2]
Thought I saw Nick Cave down at the Laundromat
You put your hand in my hand, and that was that, yeah
Your perfume on my sleeve
You lit my life like a Christmas tree
Up into the sky, yeah

[Chorus]
Poor little fish
Swimming in the water
Hide behind the coattails of your father

[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Y'know, a cold, cold heart sleeps awful well
While the maids vacuum the hall outside my cheap hotel room
The whole damn sh*t came down
Exploded to the ground
Pssssssh!
Up into the sky, yeah

[Chorus]
Poor little fish
Swimming in the water
Hide behind the coattails of your father

[Bridge]
Where you are is who you are
When you're sleeping
Where you are is who you are
When you're sleeping

[Outro]
Poor little fish
Poor little fish
Poor, poor little fish
Poor, poor little fish
