Philly Sinks

It's always locusts, or floods, or drought
 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 a 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 frown
 Well, you can put in your oar
 But you're hoping for more
 Like the gulls and the freighters they follow around
 And if the rowing gets done
 Just knock a hole in the hull
 And let the ocean swallow you down
 (ahhh ooooh)
 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
