you are my greatest fear and I thought that I could run from you


If you've been watching the news, shark attacks through the roof
they're calling this month the summer of blood

If you're worried about getting eaten, they say the odds are tiny
it's way more likely you'll die in the home

I don't wanna be shark food

Nevertheless I'm obsessed with the king of the sea
pick up Reader's Digest for monthly stories

About people who survived shark attacks and still swim in the sea
you get the same kicks vicariously

I don't wanna be shark food

So I made up my mind, I'd stay outa the sea, and I waltz on down, yeah I waltz on down to the Central Library... and go on adventures through all the pages, the Cold War, teleportation, cookbooks, speed dating, and then I go weak at the knees - five ninety seven point three in the dewey... what a beautiful sight - full colour books - of the shark's secret life - and I'm safe on dry land so they can't ruin mine

SAYS YOU

And wriggling through the door was a Great White Shark

"Take off that stupid shark mask"
"Take off that stupid panda mask"

234 Though you thought that you were safe on shore
there's a Great White going right for your left paw
And though you felt so safe at the library
there's a Great White there with no intent to read

Knowledge is power, don't you dare teach that thing how to read
You are my greatest fear, thought that I could run from you
