If You Were a Fish

from Miscast by Anecdata

/

about

Written November 2011. Recorded 2017-2022.

lyrics

if you were a fish I would throw you back
without a moment's hesitation
but if you were a fly I would cast a net and bug your eyes
that's right
if you were a fish I would put away the knife
it ain't worth the frustration
but to the fly
I would set a trap and watch it die
and butterflies won't fly again
if you insist on clipping their wings again
and spiders won't last a day
there's nothing like just spinning away
if you were a fish
I would pose for polaroids and hang you by the tail
but if you were a fly I would swat you out of the sky
that's right
and butterflies won't fly again
if you insist on clipping their wings again
and spiders won't last a day
there's nothing like just spinning away
if you were a fish
if you were a fish I would throw you back
without a moment's hesitation
but if you were a fly I would cast a net and bug your eyes
and butterflies won't fly again
if you insist on clipping their wings again
and spiders won't last a day
there's nothing like just spinning away
