Beneath the Piano

Well I've been going for a couple of years

And it seems that the answer it is coming quite clear

Oh I don't even know what I am doing here

But I can drive with my eyes closed

And play by ear

And I can sleep beneath the piano

Just like that's my natural home

With all those keys I never feel alone

Yes I can sleep beneath the piano

Just like that's my natural home

With all those keys I never feel alone



I met a girl in a sleepy town down by the sea

She swore she didn't want nothing from me

Now if you ever hear that line boy don't you dare believe

There ain't nothing but deep blues down in that bitter recipe

And when I left town she had those tears in her eyes

But, I ain't one for no emotional goodbyes

So she swam into that bottle like a fish back to its home

Couple more drinks and you don't know she's alone

Yeah she swam into that bottle like a fish back to the sea

Couple more drinks and she forgot all about me



Met a lot of guys a lot tougher than me

It's like it ain't no kinda competition indeed

They say "hey boy have you ever been stabbed before"

I said "not yet, I'm grabbin' my hat and just heading for the door"

I made my way down to that rich side of town

Where everybody's tossin' big words around

But as soon as I turn my back to head downtown

I hear those whispers like rain just fallin' on down

Say he drink like a fish and he gonna fly like a stone

Boy is better off left alone

Say he drink like a fish and he gonna fly like a stone

Boy is better off left alone
