Lyrics

As we both marched along
a serpent came and stole your tongue
The spell that he cast upon,
it threw me to the sea

And as I swam back to shore,
just trying to make it home
to the arms that would hold me close,
I sank beneath the waves

Deep down there I met a man
he told me boy to understand:
"The fear of green is to comprehend,
you're nothing but a fish."

CHORUS x2
Nothing but a fish
You're nothing but a fish

So I swam away from him,
I was eager to practice this new discipline
of trying to breathe the air again
and walk among the earth

I tried hard and I did fight
But it's awful tough to lose your stripes
and jump into a clear blue sky
and grow a pair of wings

And now I swim all alone
I feel the current, it takes ahold
This freedom now it is my home
I am nothing but a fish

CHORUS x2
Nothing but a fish
I'm nothing but a fish
