Lyrics

Well i hold the rope 
and i hold the sail 
and i kept my papers 
to keep from land in jail 
and i fought piranhas 
and i fought the cold 
there was no one with me 
i was all alone 

Well it's easter morning now 
and there's no one around 
so i unroll the cement 
and walk into the town 
there was noone with me 
and i was all alone 
and i fought piranhas 
and i fought the cold 

Well you know what it's like 
i don't got to tell you 
who puts up a fight 
walking out of hell now 
when you fought piranhas 
and you fought the cold 
there's nobody with you 
and you're all alone
