Lyrics Philly sinks Aimee Mann

Philly sinks

It's always [?] still floods or drown
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
Animatronic bloodhound spark
A wind-up mockingbird sings

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 glasses of girls
But now the girl is a friend

But you can put in your oar
But you're hoping for more
Like the gulls and the freighters they follow aroundAnd if the rowing gets done
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
