Great White Sharks

Lyrics

[Verse 1] He told me in the dark With salt on his tongue He'd learn to bite the blue And never be the one He drew a line in sand Then kicked it in my face Said hunger makes a king When it leaves no trace [Pre-Chorus] I watched his hands shake On the edge of the pier He smiled like a storm And called it career [Chorus] Great white sharks, great white sharks He said it like a prayer Great white sharks, great white sharks Till the water got him there He went chasing teeth Now he sleeps with the deep Great white sharks, great white sharks And they don't keep [Verse 2] He bought a sharper suit And wore it like a dare Talked big to every room Like fear was in the air He laughed at little hearts He laughed at what we knew But every blade he showed Came back around to chew [Pre-Chorus] I saw the flash in his grin When the moon hit the glass He wanted to be the wave Now he's the aftermath [Chorus] Great white sharks, great white sharks He said it like a prayer Great white sharks, great white sharks Till the water got him there He went chasing teeth Now he sleeps with the deep Great white sharks, great white sharks And they don't keep [Bridge] Now the boat rides low And the foam looks cold Every broken boast Turns to rust in the hold He wanted the crown He wanted the bite But the sea takes names When it claims the night [Final Chorus] Great white sharks, great white sharks He said it like a prayer Great white sharks, great white sharks Till the water got him there He went chasing teeth Now he sleeps with the deep Great white sharks, great white sharks And they don't keep
