lyrics

I’ve been living on cold salt water
Been crawling on my belly too long and
I’m gonna take a trip to where the sands are warmer for me
This aint no life feeding from the bottom
There aint no diginity in hiding in the holes to get what you need

I was a little crab when I lost my mom and dad
They took a boat and went off to Louisiana
With the promise to be saved, we all should be saved,
don’t you want to be saved?
The fisherman said “hey jump in my little crate
let me take you up above let me show you the way
You’ll even get a fresh tank of water”
Every now and then I think I hear mamma singing
Baby Baby I want you to know
there’s more sharks above than there are below
They will sink their hooks in you and take your soul
Baby baby I want you to know
there’s more sharks above than there are below
They will sink their teeth in you and tear out your soul

I’ve been hiding too long at the bottom of it all
I’ve been hiding too long

I’ve got a hard shelled skin, I got my claws within
I don’t want to give up I don’t want to give up
With a long way to go, I feel the undertow
I don’t want to give up I don’t want to give up.

As I lay my belly down in the sand
Dirty as I’ve ever been I fill my lungs with water
It all tastes the same
I traveled miles to feel this empty
A fallen angel at the bottom of this murky sea
Would not lay her eyes upon me
Guess its time for me to go

As I take my last breath I’ll know
There’s more sharks above then there are below
