Lyrics
Sharks
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You were taller than Santa and smaller around
We stood on the corner and watched the people hurrying through town
Nighttime had fallen and bruised both his knees
The fork had run off with the spoon and the cheese
Build a boat
Keep it afloat
There's sharks in the moat
Sharks in the moat
Build a boat
Keep it afloat
There's sharks in the moat
Sharks in the moat
Stranger than fiction this friction between
All that I say to know that I truly truly mean
Tunelessly talking and tapping our feet
But words are like nickels in the currency of our sweet defeat
Build a boat
Keep it afloat
There's sharks in the moat
Sharks in the moat
Build a boat
Keep it afloat
There's sharks in the moat
Sharks in the moat
The moat
You're the wind that blows my sail
You battered me, you battered me
You're the wind that blows my sail
You battered me, you battered me
Won't you just stay with me
I cannot sleep, I never sleep
You're okay to someone
You'll never be, never be
Build a boat
Keep it afloat
There's sharks in the moat
Sharks in the moat
Build a boat
Keep it afloat
There's sharks in the moat
Sharks in the moat
