lyrics

Say you could go anywhere you like, ok?
I bet it'd be many miles away
I know a man who starts, then turns around all day

If you can believe this story

He's a fish bowl man
No matter where he swims he's always coming back again
There's no point in trying
To make it past the glass, he's only tugging on the line

There is a different breed of fish they say
The kind that's all duty and no play
How can he hang around and wait for signs all day

How can you believe the story

Of the fish bowl man
No matter where he goes, he's always coming 'round the bend
And it makes no sense
'Cause every single step just has him bump against the fence

Can you still believe this story

He's a fish bowl man
No matter where he swims, he's always floating back again
And it's just no use, ‘cause even if he thinks so
There's no other way to choose

This is the road, take it
This is your whole life in a bowl
This is the road, take it
This is your whole life, dig it
