Fishhouse

The Tubes


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 floatin' 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--swimmin'
