Shark - M Ward

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
