Where Fishes Go

(album: The Distance To Here - 1999)

yeah I found god
and he was absolutely nothing like me
he showed me up like some dime-store hooker
who was plain to see
I couldn't take it anymore so I went back to the sea
cuz' that's where fishes go
when fishes get the sense to flee

where you going now?
what's your plan?

yeah I found god
and he was absolutely just like me
he opened my mouth, looked down my throat
told me I was thirsty
he said, I been, I been, I been
been in this water all my life
never took the time to breathe, breathe,
BREATHE!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby?
when you know that love will set you free
will you stay in the sea forever?
drowning there for all eternity
whatcha doing in this darkness baby?
living down where the sun don't shine
come on out into the light of love
don't spend another day
living in the sea
living in the sea, yeah

I couldn't take it anymore
so I went back to the sea
cuz' that's where fishes go
when fishes get the sense to flee
breathe, BREATHE!

whatcha doing in this darkness baby?
when you know that love will set you free
will you stay in the sea forever?
drowning there for all eternity
whatcha doing in this darkness baby?
living down where the sun don't shine
come on out into the light of love, child
don't spend another, no no
whatcha doing in this darkness baby?
come on out into the light of love
come on out into the light of love child
don't spend another day
living in the sea, living in the sea
