Floundering Lyrics

Tonight I'm looking for someone to tell my troubles to
Some fish will swim but some fish just get caught
I'm walkin' by a market and I remember me and you
Feelin' like an old filet that no one bought


Chorus:
Nobody knows, nobody sees
I'm caught downstream, and I'm floundering


Walkin' by the old canal, I sit down along the shore
I throw one lonely duck my last french fry
I had a dream of drowning¨c¨ci heard the underwater roar
So pack me up in ice, and take me home to fry


Chorus repeat x2


And late at night, I hear the wind just yawn
Some fish will swim, some fish will spawn


Chorus repeat x2

Cover art for Floundering lyrics by Stan Ridgway

Stan has used fish as metaphors for victıms of fate before, in don't box me in. The tune of the chorus seems to have a 'Long Black Veil' reference, with "nobody knows, nobody sees . . ."
