When you grab ahold of me you tell me that I'll never be set free.
But a parasite, creeping and crawl, I step into the night.
Two pints of boose, tell me, are you a bad fish too?
Ain't got no money to spend, I hope the night will never end.
Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off this reef?

Baby, you're a big, blue whale, grab the reef when all duckdiving fails.
I swim, but I wish I never learned, the water's too polluted with germs.
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead, grab the reef that's underneath my bed.
Ain't got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to grow old.
Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off this reef?

Ain't got no quarrels with God, ain't got no time to get old.
Lord knows I'm weak, won't somebody get me off this reef?
