Lyrics
0:14It's always locusts or floods or drought
0:20And then it's parties or prayer
0:26He picks a girl he can live without
0:33And puts her down over there
0:38Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore
0:44Philly drinks and when he drinks all the drunks hit the floor
0:50Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down
0:55And when you do you both drown
1:08Congratulations you hit the mark
1:14You got the bird on the wing
1:20The animatronic bloodhounds bark
1:27The wind up mockingbirds sing
1:32Philly thinks and when he thinks you can't feel anymore
1:38Philly drinks at least he did when you knew him before
1:45Philly sinks but now the glass is a girl
1:49But now the girl is a frown
2:02Well you can put in your oar
2:05But you're hoping for more
2:09Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around
2:15And if the rowing gets dull
2:18Just knock a hole in the hull
2:21And let the ocean swallow you down
2:39Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't swim anymore
2:45Philly drinks until the tide pulls away from the shore
2:51Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down
2:56And when you do you both drown
It's always locusts or floods or drought And then it's parties or prayer He picks a girl he can live without And puts her down over there Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't feel anymore Philly drinks and when he drinks all the drunks hit the floor Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down And when you do you both drown Congratulations you hit the mark You got the bird on the wing The animatronic bloodhounds bark The wind up mockingbirds sing Philly thinks and when he thinks you can't feel anymore Philly drinks at least he did when you knew him before Philly sinks but now the glass is a girl But now the girl is a frown Well you can put in your oar But you're hoping for more Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around And if the rowing gets dull Just knock a hole in the hull And let the ocean swallow you down Philly thinks and when he thinks he can't swim anymore Philly drinks until the tide pulls away from the shore Philly sinks and when he sinks you go down And when you do you both drown
