When you bait me when you hook me
What a stupidity
I shall dance between the water and the sky
Oh why'd you make me
Yearn so much for your touch
You don't know what this means
Oblivion's your piece
All I'll say is "stand-offish"
You see all the world but me
What is your destiny ?
Is your name Steve ?
You don't know
You see everything but me
Silver and slippery
I'm just a fish
When you throw me into the ocean
Can't find the fisherman
Isn't he a silly ignoramus ?
Why can't he understand ?
Can't he see that he's you ?
And you are him, too ?
All I'll say is I'm a fish
When you finally realize this
It may be too late
Cos the fish is swimming far beneath
And never will leap again
So you'd best rush for time
And fling out that line
All I'll say is "stand-off-fish"
You see all the world but me
What is your destiny ?
Is your name Steve ?
You don't know
You see everything but me
Silver and slippery
I'm just a fish
