Roland Orzabal - Fish Out Of Water lyrics

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

You're dreaming your life away

Fish out of water

Go swim in the tide today

Fish out of water

We used to sit and talk about primal scream

To exorsice 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

You're dreaming you're life away

Fish out of water

Go swim in the tide today

Fish out of water

You're dreaming you're life away

Fish out of water

Go swim in the tide today

Fish out of water
