Sharks
You were taller than Santa
But smaller around
We stood on a 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
And all 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 batter me
You batter me
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
You batter me (I cannot sleep)
You batter me (I never sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I cannot sleep)
You batter me (I never sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I never sleep)
You batter me (I cannot sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I cannot sleep)
You batter me (I never sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I never sleep)
You batter me (I cannot sleep)
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
But smaller around
We stood on a 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
And all 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 batter me
You batter me
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
You batter me (I cannot sleep)
You batter me (I never sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I cannot sleep)
You batter me (I never sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I never sleep)
You batter me (I cannot sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I cannot sleep)
You batter me (I never sleep)
You're the wind that blows my sail (Would you just stay with me?)
But you batter me (I never sleep)
You batter me (I cannot sleep)
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
