Lyrics Amanda Palmer

Amanda Palmer

Bottomfeeder

Why you always kickin' up the sand

Always kickin' up the sand?

God, man, you're angry, and it makes my eyes hurt

Why you always kickin' up the sand

Kickin' up the sand?

You block your sister

So the sunbeams miss her

Why you always raggin' on the man

Always raggin' on the man?

It just makes you lookin' like a sad-sack actor

Why you always raggin' on the man?

Raggin' on some system you think killed him

But you're so so backwards

Why you gotta be like that?

You're never gonna bring him back

Big fish, little fish

Fixing in the dark

If I had one wish

Just a wish

Throw me in the water

'Cause I wanna be a bottom feeder

Why you always hatin' on the cabs

Always hatin' on the cabs?

Just means the cabs are coming that less faster

Why you always hatin' on the cabs?

You shake your fist at God

You ain't even noticing that they're all passin'

Why you gotta bitch about the band

Bitch about the band?

You know he loved 'em

And they kept him laughin'

Why you gotta bitch about the band

Bitch 'bout the band?

You aren't even listening

And, man, they're not askin'

Why you gotta be like that?

You're never gonna bring him back

Big fish, little fish

Shootin' in the dark

If I had one wish

Just a wish

Throw me in the water

'Cause I wanna be a bottom feeder

Wanna be a bottom feeder

Wanna be a bottom feeder

Why you always dyin' in the bath

Always dyin' in the bath?

Just makes me nervous that lizard king kissed you

Why you always dyin' in the bath?

Dyin' in the bath

It's awful quiet

And it makes me miss you

Why you gotta be like that?

You're never gonna bring him back

Big fish, little fish

Dyin' in the dark

If I had one wish

Just a wish

Throw me in the water

'Cause the cabs ain't comin'

Yeah, the sun's not shinin'

Yeah, the bath keeps runnin'

Yeah, it keeps on rainin'

But the band keeps playing

Yeah, the band keeps playing

Yeah, the band keeps playing

Yeah, the band keeps playing
