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
