Great White Shark Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Mercury, creeping on the sea
How she wails, flails her arms and weeps
Accumulation of debris
Lips apart, flapping as a lark
For in the dark there is release
[Chorus]
Every familiarity scarce as the great white shark
[Verse 2]
Oh, to build walls with golden gills
Spike in hand, high above the sand
To kill the sanctuary
Every mile that is owned
Only stands still by the grace of the stone
[Chorus]
Every familiarity scares as the great white shark
[Verse 3]
Look, daughter an owl
Listen to her howl
I howled when you were born through me
And you're alive with a breath you can't see
Oh, by the grace of this dream
