Barrier Reef Lyrics by Old 97's

Barrier Reef Lyrics

    The empty bottle was half empty, tide was low, and i was thirsty.
    Saw her sitting at the bar, you know how some girls are,
    Always making eyes, well she wasn't making eyes.

    So i sidled up beside her, settled down and shouted, "hi there."
    "my name's stewart ransom miller, i'm a serial lady-killer."
    She said, "i'm already dead," that's exactly what she said.

    So we tripped the lights fantastic, we was both made of elastic.
    Midnight came and midnight went, and i though i was the president.
    She said, "do you have a car," and i said, "do i have a car?"

    What's so great about the barrier reef?
    What's so fine about art?
    What's so good about a good times van,
    When you're working on a broken,
    Working on a broken,
    Working on a broken man?

    My heart wasn't in it, not for one single minute.
    I went through the motions with her. her on top, and me on liquor.
    Didn't do no good, well i didn't think it would.

    What's so great about the barrier reef?
    What's so fine about art?
    What's so good about a good times van,
    When you're working on a broken,
    Working on a broken,
    Working on a broken man?

    When you're working on a broken,
    Working on a broken,
    Working on a broken man.

    When you're working on a broken,
    Working on a broken,
    Working on a broken man.
