Bucket of Crab

Lyrics

[Verse 1] By the pier at dawn I saw you skitter side to side Red on the rocks With your pinches up like pride Tiny armored king In a bucket by the bait shop door You stared right back Like you had done this life before [Pre-Chorus] Tap tap on the pail You were rattling your crown One quick look at me Then you wouldn’t settle down [Chorus] Crab, crab, crab Runnin’ sideways through my head Crab, crab, crab You got claws and you know it, yeah (Claws and you know it) Crab, crab, crab Little fighter in a shell Crab, crab, crab You move like nobody else [Verse 2] Salt on my hands Cold wind tugging at my shirt You snatched that shrimp Like you’d earned the whole world first Kids on the dock Laughed when you made your sudden dash One quick flip And you vanished in the splash [Pre-Chorus] Tap tap on the pail You were rattling your crown One quick look at me Then you wouldn’t settle down [Chorus] Crab, crab, crab Runnin’ sideways through my head Crab, crab, crab You got claws and you know it, yeah (Claws and you know it) Crab, crab, crab Little fighter in a shell Crab, crab, crab You move like nobody else [Bridge] If the tide comes in You don’t beg it to stay You just lift that shell And you find another way (Another way) Tough little spark With the sea in your stride One red crab And the whole dock came alive [Chorus] Crab, crab, crab Runnin’ sideways through my head Crab, crab, crab You got claws and you know it, yeah (Claws and you know it) Crab, crab, crab Little fighter in a shell Crab, crab, crab You move like nobody else [Outro] Sideways Sideways Crab, crab, crab You move like nobody else
