Lyrics

I Wanna Be a Fish

I wanna swim in dew red wine
And flutter down the riverside
And come to earth to think and feeling better
I need to get distorted eyes

(Ah!) I wanna be at this
(Ah!) And living at this time

I need to have some swimming friends
I want to have a feeling up there
'Cause I'm so sure that I can be much better
In other world with no one else

(Ah!) I wanna be at this
(Ah!) And living at this time

A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba

(Ah!) I wanna be at this
(Ah!) And living at this time

A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba (I wanna be at this)
A-ha, a-ha, ba-da-ba-ba-ba
