Fish and Get Fat

I keep it goin' day by day
Drink my coffee, smile and say
"Doin' fine... how's it treatin' you?"
My smile comes from a movie scene
Words from Sunday's magazine
Who I am, I only wish I knew

I wanna fish and get fat, I'm done with all of that!
I wanna fish and get fat... I ain't comin' back!
I'm movin' backward stride by stride, I'm sliced I'm diced, I'm crispy fried
City's closin' in on me
The windows to my soul are sad reflections of a billboard ad:
Buy one now and get another free!

I wanna fish and get fat, I'm done with all of that!
I wanna fish and get fat... I ain't comin' back!
I'm movin' backward stride by stride, I'm sliced I'm diced, I'm crispy fried
City's closin' in on me
The windows to my soul are sad reflections of a billboard ad:
Buy one now and get another free!

I'm genuine synthetic fake, lock me up and let me bake
Turn me over now, I think I'm done
Sprinkle me with MSG, a word or two of sympathy
Slap me 'round and throw me in a bun!
I keep it goin' day by day
Drink my coffee, smile and say

River river, wash me clean, carry me away
River river, wash me clean, carry me away
River river, wash me clean, carry me away
River river, wash me clean... 'cause I can't stand another lousy day!
I move my mouth, the words come out
First a whisper, then a shout
No one hears a thing I have to say
The sell-by date stamped on my neck is out of date, but what the heck
No one's buying anything today!

I wanna fish and get fat, I'm done with all of that!
I wanna fish and get fat... I ain't comin' back!
I'm movin' backward stride by stride, I'm sliced I'm diced, I'm crispy fried
