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
