You're better off telling this story   Than feeling like clay without water   So pretty and clean   So pretty and clean      Trying hard not to hate   Keep all your bad luck at bay   You feel it every day   Every day      So pretty and clean on the outside   Swamp water within   I have my sin   So have we all      Plaster me up with your spackle   Wax everything right into place   I'm stepping out onto the gangplank   And I know there's sharks out there      I am filled with dark water riches   But they're heavy and cause me to sink   I behold the stars nightly with my heart   But it's cold and dark out there      I am wasting away and it's alright   I am fading back into the night   I am dripping with love and with pain   And with pride      I've got your number   It's 99   It's 99   99
