When you bait me when you hook me   What a stupidity   I shall dance between the water and the sky      Oh why'd you make me   Yearn so much for your touch   You don't know what this means      Oblivion's your piece   All I'll say is "stand-offish"   You see all the world but me      What is your destiny?   Is your name Steve?   You don't know      You see everything but me   Silver and slippery   I'm just a fish      When you throw me into the ocean   Can't find the fisherman   Isn't he a silly ignoramus?      Why can't he understand ?   Can't he see that he's you?   And you are him, too?      All I'll say is I'm a fish   When you finally realize this   It may be too late      Cos the fish is swimming far beneath   And never will leap again   So you'd best rush for time      And fling out that line   All I'll say is "stand-off-fish"   You see all the world but me   What is your destiny?      Is your name Steve?   You don't know   You see everything but me      Silver and slippery   I'm just a fish
