Oil on Dark Water
8/8/2000

Belly up in the water,
Silver up in some water.
Waves are churnin’
Fire’s burning
Children learnin’
Table’s turning
Up in the water.

Tie a rope on the carcass,
Yeah, tied the rope on fish carcass.
Fish is dragging
Quit yur raggin’
Silver shining
Here’s a dragon
Rope on the carcass.

Always wondered if the fish would bite
Would be better if they’d turn on the light
Cold, I’m waiting for the blind to get sight
Fish in the water.
Tethered fish in the water.

Preserved fish in a cooler,
Kept the fish in my cooler.
Hope of eating,
Stop defeating,
Rigor mortis,
Slow like tortoise,
Fish in my cooler.

Slicing fish up the belly,
Sliced a fish up its belly.
Pulling guts out,
Down disposer,
Round the blades go,
Blades that don’t know.
Fish up the belly, getting real smelly.

Always wondered if a fish might die
Wouldn’t mind it if they’d turn on a light
Boldly, I wait for the fish to stop fight
Sliced up the stomach.
It’s been slit up the stomach.

Fried fish in a fry pan,
Frying fish in the fry pan.
Popping oil splats,
Fishy-smell rats.
Stop defeating,
Hope of eating.
Cooked in a fry pan.

Fish scale so oily,
Fried skin is too oily.
Flesh is peeling,
I am reeling,
Rancid odor,
Smelling house up,
Fish skin is oily.

Always wondered if the fish would bite
Wouldn’t mind it if they’d turn on the light
Cold, I’m waiting for the blind to get sight
Fish in the fry pan.
Dead fish in a fry pan.

Fish down the toilet,
Yeah, well its Fish down a toilet.
Bones are sticking,
On the ceiling.
Flush forgotten,
Flesh smells rotten.
Stuck in the toilet.

Well I can’t kill the odor,
Yes, I can’t kill an odor,
Plunge the toilet,
Fishy smell gets,
On goes plunger,
Down the fish goes!
Next kill the odor.

Always wondered if a fish would cry
Wouldn’t mind it if they’d turned on a light
Sad, I’m waiting for the smell to be fright
Can’t kill the odor.
Get stains out with soda.

There’s fish in my memories,
I got fish in my memory.
I held flesh like a daughter,
Tasting moldy like water.
Washing oil from the fry pan,
Pouring oil in a tin can.
The dead fish is now history.

Nothing stays in the curtains,
After three days I’m certain.
Easter’s dog boiling,
Leaving smells in the hallway.
Just keep toiling,
It’ll be gone for certain.
Fish oil on water.

Always wondered if the fish would bite
Wouldn’t mind it if they’d turned on the light
Cold, I’m waiting for the blind to get sight
Oil on dark water.
Yes, it’s oil on dark water.
