Fishhouse

(album: Genius Of America - 1996)

The creature from the black lagoon
you might say
is prophecy for the world today
All that's black come out of the bay
Oil spill kill bill has a price to pay

Dead bloated whale
with flies in his eyes
seen the future much to his demise
Pooned and doomed left to rot and die
Big stench floating that you can't deny

Mothers brothers swim in fathoms of tears
Crying this message for thousands of years

Fishhouse Mediterranean blues
Fishhouse Subterranean fuse
Fishhouse Test sight and missile abuse
Fishhouse Neptune's got so much to lose

Otters eating lead in an oyster bed
Slag heap come turn the whole thing red
Aleutian seagull dried up and dead
Plutonium cocktail toxic head

Mothers brothers swim in fathoms of tears
Crying this message for thousands of years

Fishhouse Mediterranean blues
Fishhouse Subterranean fuse
Fishhouse Test sight and missile abuse
Fishhouse Neptune's got so much to lose

He's drowning
He going down going down

My trophy friend is hanging on the wall
Urine the water now let's have a ball swimming
