Barracuda

                       
Dark woman in the water drowning
		          
Sinking in a funny way
                          
Black footing for a face exploding
                    
Mimicking our final days

Middle 8:
                    
The ocean will have us all
                   
The ocean will have us all

Dark woman in a cupboard burning
Woman, what have they done
Dark woman like a panther breathing
Woman, what can be done

Middle 8

Cold cost of the death of nothing
Slipping just like nothing did
Burnt scarecrow in the wind was choking
Smoking in the summer heat


Chorus: 
               
Barracuda, barracuda
                                
Won’t you lay down your life for me
                      
Won't you love me barracuda
       				       
If you always need to bring out the worst in me

Ten morons with their whistles blowing
Howling like a winter gale
Dark woman like a crow a-crowing
Crowing for the carrion meat

Middle 8

Dark forest with the moon arising
Smiling at you out of reach
Cracked window in a chapel dreaming
Hoping that the twain'll meet

Chorus
