Barrier Reef Lyrics - Alive & Wired - Old 97's

Empty bottle was half empty, tide was low, and I was thirsty 

I saw her sitting at the bar, well you know how some girls are 

Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes 

So I sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, "Hi there" 

My name's Stewart Ransom Miller, I'm a serial lady-killer" 

She said, "I'm already dead," that's exactly what she said 

So we tripped the lights fantastic, we was both made of elastic 

Midnight came and midnight went and I though I was the President 

She said, "Do you have a car?" and I said, "Do I have a car?" 

What's so great about the Barrier Reef? 

What's so fine about art? 

What's so good about a Good Times Van 

When you're working on a broken, working on a broken 

Working on a broken man 

When you're working on a broken, working on a broken 

Working on a broken man, yeah 

My heart wasn't in it, not for one single minute 

Oh then I went through the motions with her 

Her on top, and me on liquor, didn't do no good, well I didn't think it would 

What's so great about the Barrier Reef? 

What's so fine about art? 

What's so good about a Good Times Van 

When you're working on a broken, working on a broken 

Working on a broken man? 

When you're working on a broken, working on a broken 

Working on a broken man? 

When you're working on a broken, working on a broken 

Working on a broken man?
