Fishbowl Lyrics

Can you see what it's like to be me?

In a fishbowl, longing for sea

No wind in sail, feeling frail

But I'm going to Vegas today

Through my window a little bird sings

Its song is sad but so interesting

A lonely cry, a wish to fly

But I'm going out on town tonight

To have a good time with some friends of mine

Oh, it's nice to meet a stranger, 'cause a stranger doesn't know your name

I'm a carnival on fire, a broken car tire

I'm drawn to the flame, like a ball in a game

I'm being kicked around, high over the ground

I'm falling, flying

But here comes the rain

Putting out the flame

I feel so plain

I'm black and white unlike others

In widescreen technicolour

Waiting for the next refrain

It's so dark, where's my spark?

But I'm going out on town tonight

To have a good time and a glass of wine

Oh it's nice to meet a stranger, 'cause a stranger doesn't know your name

He's a carnival on fire, a broken car tire

I'm drawn to his flame, I'm drawn to his flame

I belong at sea, but the sea doesn't want me

He's too far away

Can't you see that I'm frail?

Blow wind in my sail
