Daniel Johnston - Fish (w/ Spanish Prisoners)

Daniel Johnston performs Fish with the Spanish Prisoners at the Highline Ballroom in New York City on 2/21/2008.

Lyrics:

Try aching every care in the world.

She's only the most beautiful girl.

The more I think it the badder it gets

I was just swimming along when i was caught in her net




She's got me singing with a broken heart

I keep on messing with my mind torn apart

She's already forgotten, look at me left in the dust

I guess my art didn't help very much




Then the super love got me again

Got me dreaming I could almost win

I stopped to take a look around with a grin

So much turmoil in this crazy town




She's got me bloody from hitting the bricks

Is this the way the girlies get their kicks?

And now i see if it makes a difference

Everyone in love, hating her & each other




Always thinking it's near the end

Then i was hoping she'd be my friend

Will i forever only wish it again?

oh to be alive & free from sin!




Psycho love in the Twilight Zone.

Drippy soap opera on the telephone.

I get so close but i don't belong.

Strain to identify with a radio song.




Then i see her as if in a dream.

It's so real i could almost scream.

She's doing a ritual the same for any man,

just like a movie it's so deadpan!




I hope for true love in the darkness.

I had the chance at false romance.

Maybe next time I'll look for something new.

I'm so ashamed, so unglued.




I've had enough & she'll never know.

I feel like staying but my subconscious says 'Go'.

Shed a tear like blood on the floor

It's only love & nothing more




She's got me singing with a broken heart

i keep on messing with my mind torn apart

she's already forgotten, look at me left in the dust

I guess my art didn't help very much
