Poor Little Fish Lyrics

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 But then you came along You put me on that throne Up into the sky
Thought I saw Nick Cave down at the laundromat You put your hand in my hand and that was that Your perfume on my sleeve, you lit my life Like a Christmas tree up into the sky
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 But then you came along You put me on that throne Up into the sky
You know a cold, cold heart sleeps awful well While the maids vacuum the hall Outside my cheap hotel room then the shit came down [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/poor-little-fish-lyrics-jayhawks.html ] Exploded to the ground up into the sky
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 But then you came along You put me on that throne Up into the sky
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, 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 But then you came along You put me on that throne Up into the sky
