If you look out of your window right now you'll see me I don't like to be out here when it's raining Water falls on every part of me twice Can you tell I'm sweating at the same time? I look like I've gone insane on the surface They way I walk with some fraction of a purpose See me standing, hood up, every night Everybody always wants to know why And I say IT DON'T GO OUT IN THE RAIN And I think that's an adequate explanation And no one ever seems to be very patient They turn the other way and start to run Maybe they think something's gonna come And if you're really interested in an answer Well, I've explained in every way that I can, Sir I'm the only one it's left alone What I've said is all I really know IT DON'T GO OUT IN THE RAIN

Went to the doctor just this Friday He said I look like I should hydrate Said 8 glasses daily, that should do the trick And I got on that pretty quick So 8 glasses a day That's 56 a week That's all my body needs So 8 glasses a day That's how it's gonna be That's all my body needs I thought that this might be a nightmare But it's more pleasant than you might hear In fact I've just now had my 13th It's made its way into my routine It's 1 glass for breakfast, 2 glasses for lunch I've got my dinner planned out for the next 7 months You might think it's crazy that I'm so organized But you can be just like me if you take my advice Just 20 glasses a day That's 140 a week That's all your body needs Just take 20 a day And I think you'll agree It's all your body needs So when I gave him the news The doctor looked confused But then he stood up and said "Oh, this is really bad" He pointed at my mouth with a worried glance and said, "By any chance have you been eating glass?" I processed this remark and then I realized I'd made a small mistake and instantly I died (And to be clear I did die of all the glass that I ate)

Daylight, we’re traveling in schools And we invite all unsuspecting fools Who stray from their inflatable pools Who misjudge how nature can be cruel I say (SUIT YOURSELF) It’s no harm to me, in fact it’s just what we need Fresh meat (BY ALL MEANS) No really feel free, go on and dip in your feet Just don’t expect them back We’re just fishies in the lake not doing a thing Chilling in the water with our little fins Wanna see if you can swim The beaches open up and the fun begins We grab them by the feet and then we pull them in And then we see if they can swim And thank you for visiting our lake Just first off some precautions you should take JUST DON'T GO IN THE WATER JUST DON'T GO IN THE WATER They keep telling them not to And they really wanna do it So suit yourself, by all means We’re just fishies in the lake not doing a thing Chilling in the water with our little fins Wanna see if you can swim The beaches open up and the fun begins We grab them by the feet and then we pull them in And then we see if they can swim

You're watching TV and you're kind of sleepy so you're not really paying attention to the screen There's an ad about a kid and his family going camping and they're talking but it's not clear what any of it means And now the child is drowning And the camera's zooming in on his face And the voiceover is saying "Do you want something like this to be your fate?" They say TOMORROW COULD BE YOUR UNLUCKY DAY So that specific ad Well, it got rid of any chance that you'd be asleep tonight Especially when you remember Tomorrow's Friday, September 13th Well it's alright, Just avoid any body of water No need to worry about the slaughter when you don't eat meat Is that a good analogy? Oh, is it already founding An irrational fear of drowning within me? (You think.) Now it's 11:30 And you want to be well rested anyway But the voice inside your head has decided that it's just gonna stay And say TOMORROW COULD BE YOUR UNLUCKY DAY ...

about

Thank you for choosing to listen to the first work under my new project Ida Fry: exactly 24 minutes of confusing and slightly wet music.

I'm still dipping my toes in the water with this new kind of energy but I am pretty excited with what I'm able to do with this project, I will see you December if all goes well. For now enjoy this soggy record.

Oh by the way the end of Fishies In The Lake is pretty loud I think so watch out
