Lyrics

[Intro]
Rain falls on the city
The gutters wash it away
It flows to the river
And from the river to the bay
The bay opens up to the ocean
And if you follow it down and down
You hit the bottom
Ouch
Down there, there's a little bar
A dive
I've been there
I ordered myself a beer
Salty
A little feller sat down next to me
He looked lonesome
So I offered him a drink
And he sang me this song
[Verse 1]
The idea of fire, I like it
I snap at my friends all the time
When I find something shiny, I hide it
Whether or not it was mine
[PreChorus]
And this little blue world keeps on shrinkin'
And I'm thinkin' it's hard to believe
How far a heart can start sinkin'
When it's wrecked like a ship on the reef
Good grief
[Chorus]
A poor little shellfish bastard, that's me
I don't need your sympathy
You can buy me a drink and be gone
Just a poor little shellfish bastard, and that's all
I'm forever bound to crawl
Back inside of my hideaway home
Alone
[Bridge]
And life down here at the bottom
Is below as low as can be
So if you wanna hear sad songs, I've got 'em
And they're all in the loneliest key
Sea
[Chorus]
A poor little shellfish bastard, that's me
I don't need your sympathy
You can buy me a drink and be gone
Just a poor little shellfish bastard, and that's all
I'm forever bound to crawl
Back inside of my hideaway home
