the same long faces in the workman's hall caramel crisp counts
his birds cliff chip's lines up his dominoes kingfisher lead singer
calms his nerves

I'm drinking sinking swimming drowning working smirking learning
burning sleeping thieving cheating beating I'm eating I'm deep in a
goldfish bowl It's sink or swim

red head ginger bread sells tickets at the door stella sleep walks in the sand
I'm drinking sinking swimming drowning working smirking learning burning

sleeping thieving cheating beating I'm eating I'm deep in a goldfish bowl It's sink
or swim 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
