The same long faces in the workman's hall,
Caramel crisp counts his birds,
Cliff chip's lines up his dominoes,
King fisher, lead singer calms his nerves.
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating,
I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.
It's sink or swim
The hall down town just burned to the ground,
My boxing ring turned to ash,
Red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door,
Stella sleep walks in the sand.
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating,
I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.
It's sink or swim
They're looking in, they're looking in!
Hard up outta luck, time to ride the village bike,
A bike been used ten times or more,
Grape vine here's the wife lays down her royal flush,
I think I've lost another wife.
I'm drinking, sinking, swimming,
I'm drowning, working, smirking, learning,
I'm burning, sleeping, thieving, cheating, beating,
I'm eating, I'm deep in a goldfish bowl.
It's sink or swim
They're looking in, its sink or swim.
