Song Lyrics

"Fish Bowl Man"

by King's X
Album: Please Come Home...Mr. Bulbous

Into the fishbowl,
I make my stand among the red fish that shake my hand,
The left of never, the right of me,
The yellow water, eternity.

I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah.

Up come the red fish, they speak to me,
They tell me secrets that shouldn't be,
Mystical water, bubble of birth,
I pop the question to mother earth.

I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
Yeah, I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
Yeah.

External, internal, constant longings,
Inside out, flaccid dreams,
Silver wings, memory fading,
The future snarls,
She brings me a plate of black eyed sneers,
Waves crashing, forest burns,
Forced to impregnate itself to be freed,
Crack the whip, the horse has no conscience,
Whether to live or merely recede,
Pedestal landscapes, maniacal reverence,
Naked she lies, clothed she pretends,
My God, I can't stand it,
The systems, the basics,
Humanity swearing because it's been born,
The non-speaking monarch from fairy tale mishap,
Chartered a boat to visit my pain,
We talked for hours, then all became clear,
Simply because I'm a fishbowl man.

I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
Yeah, I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
I'm in a fishbowl,
I'm a fishbowl man,
Yeah.
