Goldfish Bowl Lyrics by Van Morrison, Joey DeFrancesco

You’re Driving Me Crazy

2018

[Verse 1]
What will it take for them to leave it alone?
Don't they understand I'm just a guy who sings songs?
I got no hit record
Man, I don't do no TV shows, no TV shows
And I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl
[Verse 2]
I'm just doing my gigs and I'm on and off the road
Everything I say is not meant to be taken like set in stone
'Cause they call me a celebrity
Baby, that doesn't mean it's true, doesn't mean it's true
'Cause I don't believe in any myth, people, so why should you?
[Chorus]
I'm singing jazz, blues and funk
Some rock and roll
Folk music with a beat
And a whole lot of soul
I ain't got no hit record
Man, I ain't doing no TV shows, no TV shows
And I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl, goldfish bowl
(All right)
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Well, there's parasites and psychic vampires playing on the public at large
Casting their dark shadow onto everyone else
And the media barons
Play on a lower key
And they prey on everybody, prey on you and me
[Chorus]
I'm singing jazz, blues and funk
Some rock and roll
Folk music with a beat
And a whole lot of soul
I, I, I ain't got no hit record
I ain't got no TV shows, no TV shows
So I ain't got no reason to live in a goldfish bowl
No reason, no reason, no reason, yeah
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Well, I don't have no reason to live in a goldfish bowl
Good evening, friends
