Lizard and Fish, oh, what a pair
One lived underwater and the other breathed air
On a shelf in a pet store/On aisle thirteen
Lizard and Fish would sit together and dream

And Lizard said, "Fish, how's the water today?"
And Fish said, "Bubblebubble"
And Lizard said, "Somehow, we'll both get away
And be a refugee lizard and fish"

Lizard was bright, he was clever and sly
There wasn't an escape routine that he hadn't tried
And Fish was a master of keeping his cool
While dreaming about the day he'd go back to school

And Lizard jumped up on the wall of his tank
And Fish said, "Bubblebubble"
And Lizard said, "Somehow, we'll get to the riverbank
And we can live like a lizard and fish."

One day there was a fire in the back of the store
And all the animals were screaming and squawking
And otherwise talking
About the terrible stench and the roar
Of the flames; then, suddenly, Lizard and Fish were
Grabbed from their homes by Pee-Wee Herman
Who was clearing out the burning store and putting all the animals
Outside

And Lizard said, "Fish, we're finally free!"
And Fish said, "Bubblebubble"
And they built a rocket and flew to the moon
Where they spent their days eating flies a lot
And singing about the wonderful day
The store burned down and Pee-Wee saved them
And looking at the stars cause they were really, really pretty
And living their lives like Lizard and Fish

Light Up The Sky
Van Halen
The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
