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 the wing The animatronic bloodhounds bark The wind-up mockingbirds sing 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 glass is a girl 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 dull Just knock a hole in the hull And let the ocean swallow you down 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
