She stuck a cigarette right in between her lips
and then she crossed her legs
He struck and match and turned to her
Smoke rose it began to burn
Twisting past their heads
Oh baby don’t, baby don’t
There are sharks in the water.
Sharks on the street
You can talk about morality, but we’re just meat.
Saw a shark at the dance club,
he had trouble with his fist pump
Met a shark at an atm – seemed cool till he ate his friend
He was going at those legs
He was snappin’ on those legs
Oh baby don’t, baby don’t
There are sharks in the water
Sharks on the street
You can talk about morality but we’re just meat
Prowling through behind a barstool they eat em’ up
Vacuum up your wallet too. Suck it up
Lurking just out of view, they lick their lips
Out on the street, we’re little fish
Oh baby don’t, baby don’t cause
There are sharks in the water
Sharks on the street
You can talk about morality, but we’re just meat
(talk about morality but we’re just meat)
You can talk about morality, but we’re just meat.
