Old 97's - Barrier Reef Lyrics
The empty bottle was half empty, tide was low, and i was thirsty.Saw her sitting at the bar, 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?My heart wasn't in it, not for one single minute.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.
