Lyrics Sharks - Armchair Cynics

Sharks

There’s sharks below the surface
Waiting to come and drag me down
With copious amounts of pills
And amphetamines to combat ourselves
What used to be the simplest days
Became so complicated with cocktails of colourful meds
Now I’m just another stray dog on the boulevard
With the last of the hometown stars
Don’t tell me in your little tone
I hate to say I told you so
Could you just let it go?
Help me find a way out of this mess
I’m sick of all the choices that I made
When there was simply nothing left
Help me put a distance to my past
Scars I have
Sharks below the surface
Talk is getting serious
About the future and all my big plans
But like love lost in Los Angeles
It comes and goes with the latest of trends
What used to be a lucrative business has just gone to shit
With the collapse of the meaning itself
Now I’m just another stray dog on the boulevard
With the last of the boomtown whores
Don’t tell me in your little tone
I hate to say I told you so
Could you just let it go?
Help me find a way out of this mess
I’m sick of all the choices that I made
When there was simply nothing left
Help me put a distance to my past
The scars I have
I cannot forget
Sharks below the surface
More, more
Oh, can you help me get
More, more?
Oh, just a little bit
More, more?
Oh, will you help me get
Just a little bit more?
Help me find a way out of this mess
I’m sick of all the choices that I made
When there was simply nothing left
Help me put a distance to my past
Scars I have
I cannot forget
Sharks below the surface
Sharks below the surface
Sharks below the surface…
