Linda Allen - It Never Seemed Right lyrics

Well, it started with a fish And a wish I made at a carnival show Threw the line in low And the man said, "Whoa, you won the prize" It was the fish with the silver eyes She was a lovely sight But it never seemed right Oh, it never seemed right No, it never seemed right Bugs in a jar, and cougars in a zoo Hamsters in a cage for a better view We were watchin' them but they were watchin' too But it never seemed right No it never seemed right There was a parakeet Couldn't sleep for the noise that bird would make How his cage would shake He was smart and as blue as the summer sky The sky he'd never fly 'Til the day he died You know, it never seemed right CHORUS Some things you know deep in your soul 'tho you may not understand Some things you feel are more than real When you hold them in your hand There are those who will tell their story There are those who never can He was a frightened kid Hid in a car that was headed North 'Course they found him out Heard the border guards shout, and he felt rough hands As they grabbed him tight He was in jail by night But it didn't seem right CHORUS
