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 And 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 Oh, there ain't nothing but you lose in that bitter recipe When I left town she had those tears in her eyes I ain't one for no emotional goodbye So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home Couple more drinks, she don't know she's alone Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea A couple more drinks, she forgot all about me Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me It's like it ain't no kind of competition, indeed They said: Hey boy, have you ever been stabbed before? I said: Not yet-- I'm grabbing my hat and just heading for the door I made my way down to that rich side of town Where everybody's tossing big words around But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown I hear those whispers like rain just a' falling on down Say he drinks like a fish, and he gonna fly like a stone Boy is better off left alone They say he drinks like a fish, and he gonna fly like a stone Boy is better off left alone.
