TEARS FOR FEARS: "FISH OUT OF WATER"
(Roland Orzabal / Alan Griffiths)
from the album Elemental
Intro:
us4
Verse One:
You always said you were the compassionate one
But now you're laughing at the sun
With all your high class friends you think you've got it made
The only thing you made was that tanned look on your face
With all your cigarettes and fancy cars
You ain't a clue who or what you are
Chorus:
You're dreaming your life away
us4
Fish out of water
Go swim in the tide today
us4
Fish out of water
Verse Two (as verse one):
We used to sit and talk about primsl scream
To exorcise our past was our adolescent dream
But now it's sink or swim since your memory fails
Now in Neptune's kitchen you will be food for killer whales
And on the crucifix his mother made
Hangs one more martyr to the hit parade
(Chorus -- Repeat)
Instrumental:
(Chorus -- Repeat)
Ending:
You're dreaming
