DEPTHS
Here are the young fish
Water weighs on their dorsals
Here are the young fish
Well where do they swim?
They dove through the depths
of Poseidon's chambers
Pushed to the limits
Their scales and fins
Watched from a boat
as the schools were out spawning
caught in a net
and served as fillet
Portrayal of tsunamis
and kelp bed destruction
The dolphins have suffered
The whales have cried
Where do they swim?
Where do they swim?
Where do they swim?
Where do they swim?
Murky inside
As we enter the shipwreck
Sharks are out prowling
and are ready to chase
These treasures that sank
and took these men with them
Mean nothing to fish
And all go to waste
Where do they swim?
Where do they swim?
Where do they swim?
Where do they swim?

FISHORDER
I've been waiting for a school of fish
to take me by the fin
Can these sensations make me
feel the spikes of a sea urchin?
These crustaceans make me feel the
pleasures of a manta ray
Caught a star but not a starfish
Now I'm a fish filet.
Swimming faster, swimming faster now
It's getting out of hand
In the reefs and in the coral
Sardine Disneyland
Lefteye flounder Righteye flounder
Atlantic Halibut
Caught a star but not a starfish
It's the deep sea cut
What floats to you
What floats to me
And we will flap our fins
I'm watching you take the lure
Then the net descends
Eating kelp and eating shrimp
And cod and albacore
Got the star but not the starfish
Portugese Man O War
Got the star but not the starfish
Portugese Man O War
Got the star but not the starfish
Portugese Man O War
Caught a star, but not a starfish
Caught a star, but not a starfish
Starfish Starfish Starfish Starfish

FISHYTAL
Sardines in a tin
Sardines in a tin
Covered in the brine
Oily salty brine
Sardines in a tin
Sardines in a tin
Swim in swim out
Pack in ship out
Swim in Swim out
Tide in Tide out
Sardines in a tin
Fish schools start to form
Tide pools cold and warm
They try to catch us all
Sardines in a tin
Sardines in a tin
Swim in swim out
Pack in ship out
Swim in Swim out
Tide in Tide out
I'd have the whole world
To see just what happens
to fellow pilchards
When they seal us in
Don't seal us in a can
Don't seal us in a can
Then fry us in a pan
Don't seal us in a can
In a can
In a can
In a can |
MAN 'O' WARSAW
Eel pike koi clown tuna fish go!
I was there in the fishtank
When the power went out
Swam around in a panic
But a fish cannot shout
I grew up in the glass walls
Felt aquarium safe
But now I wish I had freedom
Of the ocean's embrace
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
Hung around in the coral
When all the bubbles had stopped
I got flushed down the toilet
When I floated on top
On top of the water
Of the now darkened tank
My fish life has ended
I'm in the sewage and stank
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
I could still hear the flushing
As I swirled down the hole
I Shot through the piping
And out in the cold
In the cold of the ocean
I am dead in the sea
The fish see my carcass
And they will eat me
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea

TROUT FISHIN'
Reel em in
Live trout fishing
Reel em in
Live trout fishing
Underwater silence
Suddenly a hook drops
Worm impaled as a lure
Squirming in the sea
Fishpoles with strong lines
Luring in the trout
Gutting them for dinner
Writhing on the boooooooaaaaatttt
We all swim on
in the streams and the ponds
Hiding from predators just to
breed all our spawn
Along comes the fishline
with a tasty worm treat
We have no resistance
We all must eat
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
We can swim on
as though nothing is wrong
as our brothers and sisters
get caught and eaten
No mercy just lunch
is all that they know
to sacrifice life
In the turbulent flow
And we all floooooooppppppppp
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
Flop flop flop flop flop
in the fishing boat
Flop flop flop flop flop

WHALE IN THE SAND
This is the beach
The end of it all
You swam up on shore
It's your curtain call
You've seen your calves
Harpooned in defeat
They used their blubber for meat
Their blubber for meat
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
There are some friends
Some humans nearby
Who see the beached whale
Don't want him to die
They pull him from shore
Back into the sea
But he returns to the beach
Returns to the beach
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
This is the place
Where they park by the beach
No surfers in sight
Only dead whale meat
You saw the dark depths
At the top of the chain
And the sushi's obtained
The sushi's obtained
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand
This is the beach
The end of it all
You swam up on shore
It's your curtain call
In death he will see
His calves and his mate
As the sun starts to bake
The seagulls intake
The seagulls intake
The seagulls intake
Whale In The Sand
Whale In The Sand

NO LOBSTER LOST
So long crawling here
Looking for a meal
Pop my head out of the sand
I've been searching round
This ocean floor forever
Snapping claw crustacean
Suddenly some bait appears
Cage closes freedom disappears
They'll eat ya
They'll eat ya
They'll eat ya
Through the aquarium walls
he saw the chef approaching
and knew his time was up.
In an instant he was lowered
into a pot of scalding hot water
and the lid was closed over him,
boiling him alive.
He shuddered crustaceously.
No lobster escapes from Red Lobster...
No lobster lost... No lobster lost...
You've been sitting in the lobster tank forever
Other lobsters stacked on you
Someone picks you for a lovely Sunday meal
All your nightmares coming true
They suck the meat right out your shell
Welcome to your lobster hell
They'll eat ya
They'll eat ya
They'll eat ya |
DEAD SOLES
Someone haul these clams away
Fish entwined in nets of pain
Lobsters boiled while they're alive
They scream and burn
with their death cries
And keep trawling me
They keep trawling me
Keep on trawling me
They keep trawling me
Red snappers in the nets can't snap
And urchin spines all bend and crack
Imperial Tuna diced and canned
Spread on bread at sandwich stands
And keep trawling me
They keep trawling me
Keep on trawling me
They keep trawling me
Trawling me
Trawling me
Trawling me
Trawling me
They keep trawling me
Keep on trawling me
They keep trawling me
They keep trawling me

SALMONPLAY
To the center of the sushi
there's some Philly Rolls made out of you
In the depths of the market
there's sashimi slices made out of you
Moving through assembly lines
disposing of your gutz and bones...
Ending up as the daily special
at the Sushi Zone
In the Salmonplay swimming through
the ocean depths knowing no more
But you ended up dead on a plate
with some albacore
And the cold wet scales of your body
are all thrown away
So your meat can be served with soy sauce
on a fancy tray
All your dead salmon friends
Cut up by the sushi chef
He wraps them in seaweed
With rice and cream cheese
To the center of the sushi
there's some Philly Rolls made out of you
In the depths of the market
there's sashimi slices made out of you!

FUKISHIMA
This is the hour when mutations emerge
Radiation that poisons the sea
An earthquake so moving
shakes straight to the core
The meltdown affects you and me
The reactor is walled by a concrete divide
Crushed by the large tsunami
Dinner is served
Fish glow in the dark
Complete with a third eye to boot
Absessing tumors in your tsunami
Recalls are announced on seafood
The warning that stands
at the edge of the beach
Reminds me the oceans are screwed
How deep
Man dives
To maintain control
Of tsunamis on fire
And the fission inside
As the toxins arrive
And the strontium seeps
Into my DNA
Into my DNA |
ABALONE
Abalone are gastropod sea snails
Iridescent in all their glory
World's source for mother of pearl
Stuck to walls with muscle-foot sea slime
Harvest for food and fancy jewlery
Sport fishing in the land down under
Scraped off coral with sharp utensils
Abalone are gastropod sea snails
They'll scrape them all
No mercy shown
Abalone are gastropod sea snails
Watching her the fish she ate
The time she dined and
ordered one pan-fried
They'll scrape them all
No mercy shown
Abalone are gastropod sea snails
Tourist shops all lined with shells
but the ones who live there
are gone forever
Sea snails...
Sea snails... Under the sea
Sea snails... Cooked up as meat
Sea snails... Grandma's earrings

EATERS OF FISH
Hors d'oeuvres of fine caviar
Geflite fish in a jar
Made a promise at the buffet
To eat the sushi and the fillet
When you need seafood now
Don't want chicken or cow
And there's never a doubt
That you'll order the trout
Or a shrimp cocktail glass
With Chilean Sea Bass
Catching fish via prededation
Is the grizzly bear's dietary foundation
They're the sea bird's favorite dish
And even fish eat other fish!
Survival under the sea
Is "Eat them or eat me"
And you can't swim to hide
In ebbs and flows of the tide
Gutted, skinned, cooked, flambeed
In endless seafood parades
Can't resist temptation
Ahi tuna adoration
Smacking lips just thinking 'bout
Pan fried garlic lemon trout
The eaters of fish
Exist in every nation
The eaters of fish
Including mollusks and crustaceans
The eaters of fish
Like battered cod and salty french fries
No reluctance to partake
To dip in tartar sauce and bake
Pescatarian elation
For fish taco salivation! |
FANGTOOTH FAILURES
Don't think that's a dinosaur
That's a carcass of a fangtooth eel
Hurricane took it from the ocean floor
Left it dying on a Texas shore
From the family of Op-hich-thi-dae
Tusky eel is its common name
Blown through the violent storm
Dead on the sand in its final form
He no longer denies
That's a carcass of a fangtooth eel
It's now all covered with flies
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
Climate changes made the hurricanes
Turning fishes into airplanes
News story with a monster hook
Click and bait we take a look
What a sad fatality
Desperate gaspings of the fangtooth eel
Some other fish could see
Mother Nature is the real deal
He no longer denies
That's a carcass of a fangtooth eel
Now now all covered with flies
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
Now that the hurricanes past
People will forget about the tusky eel
Environment is only getting worse
There's sure to be much more upheaval
No no its not the last
Rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
No no its days are past
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel
The rotted carcass of a fangtooth eel |
FISH IN BOWLS
Aquariums don't last forever
Even with maintenance and care
Someday all tanks will stop running
No fishes will be anywhere
The tiny freshwater goldfish
May exist its whole life in a bag
If its lucky it's dumped in a fishbowl
Or die in a carnival rag
Fish in bowls
That's all we are
Fish in bowls
That's all we are
A whirlpool could lead to destruction
So be grateful for comfort and care
You swim round in circles forever
And know that you're going nowhere
Beyond the confines of the fishbowl
Lies nightmares and eternal fears
The ocean is a pool of predation
Where they'll flush you when life disappears
Fish in bowls
That's all we are
Fish in bowls
That's all we are
Existence well what does it matter?
I exist as the best fish I can
Constantly chasing my tail
Waiting for oblivion
Waiting for oblivion
Fish in bowls
That's all we are |
