Thomas Truax - Escape From The Orphanage lyrics

I broke out of the orphanage at the age of nine After all those years of being treated like a swine The porridge and the beatings and they never even had a TV There was an old abandoned shack up at Wowbegon lake I made it my own, I fixed up the leaks I did it my way, I made a new start Just me, my toy piano, and my pet bat, Bart Surrounded the periphery with a trip wire It rang a small bell if someone got too near In which case, I would slip out through a trap door 'Cause I'm not gonna be enslaved any more At night, I found go fishing, my big rock I would sit upon Pondering the richness my new life had taken on See, I've got all I need without monetary funds when the moonlight turns the surface of the water into diamonds I've got all I need without monetary funds when the moonlight turns the surface of the water into diamonds Water into diamonds Water into diamonds When the moonlight turns the surface of the water into diamonds From the grates in the gutter I could fish most anything All you really need's your trusty magnet on a string When they asked me "How you gonna earn your bread and bu*ter?" I'd say "Nothing's fresh as milk drank straight from the udder" Should I have an ocean to jump in the ocean Ain't nobody's business if I do Water into diamonds Water into diamonds Water into diamonds Water into diamonds When the moodlight turns the surface of the water into diamonds Fire is free and so is the sun And so are the fish and so is this one
