Chorus: 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, yeah But then you came along You put me on that throne Up into the sky, yeah Thought I saw Nick Cave down at the Laundromat You put your hand in my hand ant that was that, yeah Your perfume on my sleeve You lit my life like a Christmas tree Up into the sky , yeah (Chorus) Y'know a cold, cold heart sleeps awful well While the maids vacuum the hall outside my cheap hotel room The whole damn shit came down Exploded to the ground Pusssh, up into the sky, yeah (Chorus) 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 Poor little fish Poor, poor little fish Poor, poor little fish
