Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

Two pints of booze

Tell me, are you a badfish, too? (Are you a badfish, too? But)

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

Baby, you're a big blue whale

Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails

I swim, but I wish I never learned

The water's too polluted with germs

[PreChorus]

I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead

Grab the reef underneath my bed (It's underneath my bed, but)

[Chorus]

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?

[Chorus]

Ain't got no quarrels with God

Ain't got no time to get old

Lord knows I'm weak

Won't somebody get me off of this reef?
