Second Person Gone Fishing
Meditation on the new/ Another
version of an I Love You/ It's a variation on a theme/
It's attraction speaking
a different name/ Oh you can't imagine how/ Nice it is
to write it down/ Or say
it aloud/ I mean it means a lot to me/ To have proof of
the existence of other
fish in the sea
Oh/ I've gone fishing/ So long/ I've gone fishing
Love
was a revolving door/ It was a neon sign/ That couldn't
light the street
anymore/ I used to think about him all the time/ Like
going round and round on
the circle line/ Oh the thing about a broken heart/ Is
it's like a mechanical
toy without its moving parts/ Oh but I feel like I'm on
the mend/ Because I'm
getting up and I'm getting dressed and I'm getting out
again
Oh/ I've gone
fishing/ So long/ I've gone fishing
I kit myself out with rods and reels/
For to play sardines with the electric eels/ Chase
little angel fish with
graceful tails/ Play hide and seek with the killer
whales/ Maybe a game of
catch me if you can/ With a submarine upon a bed of
sand/ You see I am a deep
sea diver now/ And I have never been afraid to drown
Oh/ I've gone fishing/
So long/ I've gone fishing*
Oh/ I've gone fishing/ So long/ I've gone
fishing*
Letting you go, there ain't no time to waste/
Letting you know that I'll be gone all day/ I've gone
fishing
Letting you
go/ I take it in my stride/ Letting you know I won't be
back tonight/ I've gone
fishing
