Fish
[Verse 1]
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 swimming along when I was caught in her net

[Chorus]
She's got me singing with a broken heart
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart
She's only forgotten we've been left in the dust
I guess my art didn't help very much

[Verse 2]
Then the superlove 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

[Chorus]
She's got me bloodied from hitting the bricks
Is this the way the girlies get their kicks?
And now I see as if it makes a difference
Everyone in love, hating and hurting each other

[Verse 3]
Always thinking it's near the end
And I was hoping she'd be my friend
Lost forever, only wishing again
Oh, to be alive and free from sin
[Chorus]
Psycho love in The Twilight Zone
Drippy soap opera on the telephone
I get so close, but I don't belong
Straining to identify with the radio song

[Verse 4]
Then I see her as if in a dream
It's so real, I could almost scream
She's doing her ritual, the same for any man
Just like a movie, it's so deadpan

[Chorus]
I'm looking for love in the darkness
I haven't a chance at false romance
Maybe next time I'll whisper something new
I'm so ashamed, so unglued

[Verse 5]
I've had enough and 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 and nothing more

[Chorus]
She's got me singing with a broken heart
I keep on messing with my mind torn apart
She's only forgotten we've been left in the dust
I guess my art didn't help very much
