when you grab a hold of me 
you tell me that i'll never be set free 
but i'm a parasite 
creep and crawl i step into the night 
two pints of booze 
tell me are you a badfish too 
 bracketed  
ain't got no money to spend 
i hope the night will never end 
lord knows i'm weak 
won't somebody get me off of this reef 
baby you're a big blue whale 
grab the reef when all duck diving fails 
i swim but i wish i never learned 
the water's too polluted with germs 
i dive deep when it's ten feet overhead 
grab the reef underneath my bed 
 bracketed  
ain't got no quarrels with god 
ain't got no time to grow old 
lord knows i'm weak 
won't somebody get me off of this reef 
ain't got no quarrels with god 
ain't got no time to grow old 
lord knows i'm weak 
won't somebody get me off of this reef
