O my heart, it′s a fish out of water
O my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
O my heart, it′s a rock in the gutter
O my heart, it's a rocking great bolder and stuck in the gutter
And I throw my heart back to the ocean
But it don't go far it come back floating
And I watch it wash up with the dead fish
But it ain′t quite dead, it just is lifeless
O my heart, it′s a house in tornado
O my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado
O my heart, it′s a roof in El Niño
O my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El Niño
And I pour my heart a new foundation
But it don′t set hard, it just stays shaking
And I scratch my name I scratch my name in
But it don't set hard, it gets mixed back in
Bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
Bum, bum, bum, bum, bum, bum
O my heart, it′s fish out of water
O my heart, it's a rock in the gutter
O my heart, it's a black in a rainbow
O my heart, it′s so damn cold (so damn cold)
I throw my heart into the fire
′Cause I want to set my heart on fire
And I watch it try befriending embers
But the ice don't melt in mid-December
O my heart, it′s a fish out of water
O my heart, it's a fish on the rocks and it bakes in the bad sun
