F A#
When you grab a hold of me
D# F
Tell me that I’ll never be set free
F A#
But I’m a parasite, creep and crawl
D# F
I step into the night.
F A#
Two pints of booze
D# F
Tell me are you a badfish too? (are you a badfish too?)
A# F
Ain’t got no money to spend
A# F
And I hope this night will never end
A# F
Lord knows I’m weak
A# Gm
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef
F Gm
And baby your a big blue whale
D# F
I'll grab the reef when all duck diving fails
F Gm
And I can swim but I wish I had never learned
D# F
Cuz the water’s too polluted with germs
F A#
Dive deep when it’s ten feet overhead
D# F
And grab the reef, that's underneath my bed, (It’s underneath my bed)
A# F
Ain’t got no quarrels with God,
A# F
Ain’t got no time to grow old
A# F
Lord knows that I’m weak
A# Gm
Won’t somebody get me off of this reef
F A#
And there’s a steel train comin’ in,
F A#
I would take it if I could
F A#
And I would not lie to you,
F A#
because Sunday mornin’ soon will come
F A#
Things will be, easier to say
F A#
Upon the microphone like I'm a Boss DJ
F A#
I will walk up upon the stage, like it was dry land
F A#
A Boss DJ ain’t nothin’ but a man
C A#
No trouble, no fuss, I know why..
F A# F A#
It’s so nice, I wanna hear the same song twice,
F A# F A#
It’s so nice I wanna hear the same song twice
C A#
Nowadays all the songs on the radio,
They All drive me crazy...
