I Fought Piranhas

Lyrics Information

well I hold the rope
and I hold the sail
and I kept my papers
to keep from land in jail
and I fought piranhas
and I fought the cold
there was no one with me
I was all alone
yeah
hey

well it's easter morning now
and there's no one around
so I unroll the cement
and walk into the town
there was no one with me
I was all alone
and I fought piranhas
and I fought the cold
yeah

well you know what it's like
I don't got to tell you
who puts up a fight
walkin' out of hell now
when you fought piranhas
and you fought the cold
there's nobody with you
yes you're all alone
yeah
