Secret Goldfish

The fever sweats all stricken blind
To the shadow leering at my side
That dirty place where friendship hides
Take two of these he says to me and call me when your high

A liar takes aim and stealing takes place

Ease the pain in my head
Apply the tourniquet, apply the tourniquet
Until it's cured, until it's dead
Apply the tourniquet, apply the tourniquet

The cold dry air where dawn still sleeps
To start this rude awakening
That dirty place where friendship lies
You took everything I kept inside now the nothing left is mine

The hate takes shape and healing takes place

Ease the pain in my head
Apply the tourniquet, apply the tourniquet
Until it's cured, until it's dead
Apply the tourniquet, apply the tourniquet

The hate takes shape and healing takes place

Ease the pain in my head
Apply the tourniquet, apply the tourniquet
Until it's cured, until it's dead
Apply the tourniquet, apply the tourniquet

He lines them up in perfect rows
His prize garden all full of holes
A list of names like seeds in rows
A trophy room for things he stole
