[Verse 1]
When you grab a hold of me
Tell me that I'll never be set free
But I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl, I step into the night
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too
(Are you a badfish too)

[Chorus 1]
Ain't got no money to spend
I hope the night would never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get get me off this reef

[Verse 2]
Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck divin' fails
I swim, I wish I never learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
(It's underneath my bed)

[Chorus 2]
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
