lyrics

I’m just a fish in the eye
Of the waterspout
I’m just a fish in the eye
Of the waterspout
I’m just a fish in the eye
I don’t know why, but I fly
Higher and land harder
Every time

I swim this dark and boundless sea
Searching for the old church key
To calm the warring winds that blow
Both north and south, the old heave-ho

Shearline winds begin to spin
Air grows hot and patience thin
No weather man can yet foretell
When love and rage and guilt will swell

The funnel pulls me up and in and
Hold on, here we go again

I’m just a fish in the eye
Of the waterspout
I’m just a fish in the eye
Of the waterspout

I’m just a fish in the eye
I don’t know why, but I fly
Higher and land harder
Every time

I swim this dark and boundless sea
Searching for a static me
To calm the warring winds that blow
Both east and west, no ebb just flow

Shearline winds begin to spin
Air grows hot and patience thin
No weather man can yet foretell
When jealousy and pain will swell

The funnel pulls me up and in and
Hold on, here we go again

I’m just a fish in the eye
Of the waterspout
I’m just a fish in the eye
Of the waterspout
I’m just a fish in the eye
I don’t know why, but I fly
Higher and land harder
Every time

I fly higher and land harder every time
I fly higher and land harder every time
