Well I've been going for a couple of years And it seems that the answer it is coming quite clear Oh I don't even know what I am doing here But I can drive with my eyes closed And play by ear And I can sleep beneath the piano Just like that's my natural home With all those keys I never feel alone Yes I can sleep beneath the piano Just like that's my natural home With all those keys I never feel alone
I met a girl in a sleepy town down by the sea She swore she didn't want nothing from me Now if you ever hear that line boy don't you dare believe There ain't nothing but deep blues Down in that bitter recipe And when I left town she had those tears in her eyes But, I ain't one for no emotional goodbyes So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home Couple more drinks and you don't know she's alone Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea Couple more drinks and she forgot all about me
Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me It's like it ain't no kinda competition indeed They say "hey boy have you ever been stabbed before" I said "not yet, I'm grabbin' my hat And just heading for the door" I made my way down to that rich side of town Where everybody's tossin' big words around But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown I hear those whispers like rain just fallin' on down Say he drink like a fish and he gonna fly like a stone Boy is better off left alone Say he drink like a fish and he gonna fly like a stone Boy is better off left alone
