Poor Little Fish Lyrics - Sounds Of Lies - Jayhawks

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
