lyrics

All my successes float to the surface bloated and belly up
like overfed tropical fishes in an aquarium in a mountain town
the size of your thumb.

And everyone's got something to say.
And everyone's got nothing to lose.
And everyone's got it mostly wrong
except us.

And all of my fears are tied to the end of strings attached to a hot air balloon that rises an falls but never floats away.
And never lets me down.

And everyone's got something to say.
And everyone's got nothing to lose.
And everyone's got it mostly wrong
except us.

And all of my dreams have gone off to sleep with their prides like lions
fully aware that we'd be nowhere were it not for a good woman.

And everybody that's got something to say should speak up.
And everybody that's acting like they got nothing to lose? There's good chance you got nothing at all.
And everyone got it mostly wrong,
except us.
