Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks And it bakes in the bad sun Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter Oh my heart, it's a rock and great boulder 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 it up with the dead fish But it ain't quite dead, it just is like this Oh my heart, it's a house in tornado Oh my heart, it's a house in the sky in the eye of tornado Oh my heart, it's a roof in El nino Oh my heart, it's a roof made of straw in the jaw of El nino 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 Bam bam bam, bam bam bam, bam bam bam, bam... Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water Oh my heart, it's a rock in the gutter Oh my heart, it's the black in a rainbow Oh my heart, it's so damn so cold, so damn cold And I throw my heart into the fire 'Cos I want to set my heart on fire And I watch it try befriending embers But the ice don't melt in mid-December Oh my heart, it's a fish out of water Oh my heart, it's a fish on the rocks And it bakes in the bad sun
