When you grab a hold of me
Tell me that I'll never be set free
I'm a parasite
Creep and crawl I step into the night
Two pints of booze
Tell me are you a badfish too?
(Are you a badfish too?)
Ain't got no money to spend
I know the night will never end
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?
Baby you're a big blue whale
Grab the reef when all duck diving fails
I swim but wish I nevered learned
The water's too polluted with germs
I dive deep when it's ten feet overhead
Grab the reef underneath my bed
Ain't got no quarrels with God
Ain't got no time to grow old
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?
Ain't got no quarrels with Jah
Ain't got no time to get high
Lord knows I'm weak
Won't somebody get me off of this reef?

Album: 40 oz. to Freedom
Year: 1992
This song always pops-up on favorite Sublime song lists from every level of fan, from those who've been there from the beginning, to the so-called "bandwagon jumpers" to those who've only recently discovered the genius of Sublime's music. This is the type of song that combines simple yet thoughtful lyrics and a unique blend of sounds (this time an acoustic guitar and an organ) to make it one of Sublime's best-known and best-loved tracks.
