M Ward - Shark

Текст песни

Tommy is a Tiger Shark
Lives in the Bengal Sea
By day he’s a music manager
Once he even managed me
He wears a heavy, heavy coat all day
So the world can’t see his fins
Or where the bald beast with the big teeth ends
And the businessman begins
But the businessman begins within
Yeah, the businessman begins within
First time I met that monster
I thought he was just a normal guy
Until one night on a granite’s pier
I saw his darker side
Yeah, behind the seaside tavern
With a half moon in his eyes
He drank some kind of potion
And metamorphasized
Yeah, his eyes got big, his teeth grew sharp
His skin turned a cold blue gray
I watched as he grew to twice his size
And then jumped into a wave
So I hollered out to the waitress
Yeah, I almost gave away the truth
But I lost my nerve
I said «Bring me the bill»
And I settled Tommy’s too
Tommy is a Tiger Shark
Lives in the Bengal Sea
And by day he’s a music manager
Once he even managed me
