Fishmouth

[Verse 1]

When you walked in the door

They were waiting

They confronted you with the evidence

You'd been practicing in the mirror

[Verse 2]

They caught you off guard

You weren't ready

If they'd waited another day, you would've been fine

But when you attempted to speak

[Chorus]

Whole fish

Flopping from your mouth

Wriggling on the floor

Gasping for air

[Post-Chorus]

Ocean water everywhere

Staining the carpet and running out the door

[Interlude]

"So that's your big secret?

You've been swallowing live fish?"

You werеn't listening

You were trying to gеt the taste from your mouth

[Bridge]

All over the city

You'd noticed people spitting on the sidewalks

You'd always just thought of them as rude

But now you wondered

Did they try to explain a disconcerting situation too soon

And end up with the ocean in their mouths?

[Verse 3]

You could still taste the salt

Two weeks later

You could still feel the friction of the scales in your throat

And your teeth were slowly dissolving

[Verse 4]

All the dentists you saw

Shrugged their shoulders

They couldn't figure out what was happening

So, bit by bit, you retreated from your daily life

[Outro]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
