lyrics

The truth ain’t holy
Facts are boring
I want You to tell me a Fish Story

It’s gonna get gory
I want to bore a hole in it
You ain’t my bossy sissy city

There’s not a death I don’t know
Not a death toll I don’t need
It’s a breeze
I’m hooked to a tube to breathe, that’s me

I wanted it to be like childhood affinity, it lasts forever
Ok, You're gay!
I’m not boring and it’s a too-long, gory story

This is my adolescent fantasy
You're a bitch!
Are You proud of me?

The truth ain’t holy
Facts are boring
I want You to tell me a Fish Story

What can I say about fishes?
They are like slippery stories
They can be a bit boring

But it’s romantic, their idolatrous idiocy
I don’t want to hold it, You say
Keep the slime from Your mother at bay
There’s no conspiracy, just an overabundance of dance hall music!

Chicks and clicks and the start!
Chicks and clicks and the start!
Chicks and clicks and the start!
Chicks and clicks and the start!

Of it all and I’m sad, and specific and ok
Ok is all kids need, it’s not whole wheat toast or David, but still
And Jesus didn’t factor into it until way later
That’s fortified with factual data now
We’re getting into the long clouds

When You tell me truths that aren’t holy
Facts that are boring
What I want You to, what I want You to tell me

Is a Fish Story!
