SOMETIMES A FISH

A dead man said to me, you got a front row seat
Sit back enjoy the show, nowhere you can go
Sit back enjoy the show
No mirrors, no strings attached, a simple slight of hand
There and then it's not, What was, is soon forgot
There and then it's not

And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is dying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue that fish is laughing too

I sit, I stop and stare, I can't believe my eyes
Swallow all their pride, dollars in their eyes
They swallow all their pride
It's rehearsed carefully, a hero every night
Nothing is for free, a fish might not agree
Nothing is for free

And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is buying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue that fish is laughing too

There's lots of fancy talk with nothin' being said
Written on the wall the wise man's lonely call
Written on the wall
This can't be honesty, but who am I to say
Truth is something less, best you don't confess
The truth is something less

And as I walk away
Sometimes a fish is sighing
Sometimes a fish is crying
Sometimes a fish is lying
Sometimes a fish
If the joker misses cue that fish is laughing too

Casting a line to the sea
Fishes as far as I see
Casting a line to the sea
Those fish are just like you and me
