Steve Kilbey - The Amphibian Lyrics
On to the next dream we runBut still I feel like I've been stungWith all the phrases I've been sungAll the puppets I've hung amongI can't forget their stupid eyesTheir vague attempts to patronizeThe very nonsense I despiseWhile sizing up their pig sty's prizeAmphibian baby, I hardly know your nameBut ever since you came in meI haven't been the sameYou've got your certain methodTime is up your sleeveOld age crawls inside your bodAnd waits for me to leaveI must have left my keys somewhereI must have left my drink somewhereI must have left my drugs somewhereI must have left my clothes somewhereI must have left my flesh somewhereI must have left my bones somewhereI must have left my soul somewhereDon't bother to count, the money's all thereAmphibian baby, I've dealt with you beforeYour gills and pills won't pay my billsI'm showing you the doorThe rain is beating harderThe fabric that we weaveBlow my cover of a grotesque fishAnd waits for me to leaveI need some words, I just made this up, I can't be sure.....It's me in that picture....There I was, out here....Wrote me a letter, so many letters.....It all seems so long ago...
