Blood On Your Gills Lyrics

Little fish on the line

Thought it was supper time

Settled for a hook and worm

Tugged along by the throat

Reeled up into the boat

Your fortune friend has taken a turn

'Cause there's blood on your gills

And it's dripping still

Oh what will become of you

My hook in your

Guts I tore

In two to be

Forevermore

Passing your pain along to my brain

Little fish here I am

Pliers held in trembling hands

Shoved inside your aching mouth

You gulped it down instead you see

Of biting it cautiously

And hope for you has migrated south

'Cause there's blood on your gills

And it's dripping still

Oh what will become of you

Upside down

You float around

The surface as

You slowly drown

My hook in your

Guts I tore

In two to be

Forevermore

Passing your pain along to my brain

Now I can see you cannot be saved

The path to your grave has already been paved

Catch and release is how this was planned

And you'd swim away and all would be grand

But there's blood on your gills

And it's dripping still

Oh what will become of you

Lookin' sore

Of that I'm sure

As lifeless as

The wooden oar

Upside down

You float around

The surface as

You slowly drown

My hook in your

Guts I tore

In two to be

Forevermore

Passing your pain along to my brain

Passing your pain along to my brain
