Oyster Bed (lyrics)

You sit in an oyster bed
You want things that you can’t get
Never noticed what you had
Now I’m way ahead
And you won’t get this back

No shade
I’ve been working every day, every day
Stay in your lane
You had thrown us away
Now you flame?
Yeah, I’m way ahead
I’ve been making waves
John says:
“10 out of 10!”
You ain’t gonna get this back again

Yeah, gotta work for your loot
You’re out the loop, and I’m not in the mood
They see me going from gigs to carpet to club
They say: “Who’s the new one there,
in the nice suit?”

I’m on my way
You gave us up
But I ain’t gonna stop
I’m way ahead
Making a splash, and you ain’t gonna get this back, yeah

You sit in an oyster bed
You want things that you can’t get
Never noticed what you had
Now I’m way ahead
And you won’t get this back

You sit in an oyster bed
You want things that you can’t get
Never noticed what you had
Now I’m way ahead
And you won’t get this back

I’ve been trying to get us to be aligned
But you left me lying in a precipice every time
Every time you were here, you messed up my mind
I’m leaving you behind

I’m on my way
You gave us up
But I ain’t gonna stop
I’m way ahead
And I won’t let anything stand in my way, yeah

Chorus
