The Wolf & The Shark Lyrics

Blood red skirt curling 'round my thighs

Swaying with the stumbling of tipsy knee highs

Shoulders bared in the bare moonlight

He watched me walk the victory garden path that night

Headphones in on an old familiar street

Music drowning out the whispers in the trees

No streetlights to reveal the shadow following my feet

Up past the city's bedtime, it was only him and me

Be wary of strangers

Beware of the night

Take care, there are dangers that lurk in your sight

You stray from the pack

And hunt in the dark

Now who's afraid of the wolf, and who's afraid of the shark

I feel your eyes as you steady for the strike

A coward only ambushes when he can't win a fight

Me, I wait in silence 'cause I like to be precise

Blood beckons in the water like a blackout candle light

Spreading stain and a look of surprise

Thought yourself immune, and hubris turned you blind

All alone on a quiet night

You were asking for it, so I simply obliged

Be wary of strangers

Beware of the night

Take care, there are dangers that lurk in your sight

You stray from the pack

And hunt in the dark

Now who's afraid of the wolf, and who's afraid of the shark

I know your type, so weak and so vile

Rarely worth the scrutiny of taking you to trial

You can't reach the phone that you've started to dial

Baby I might make the call if you just give me a smile

Be wary of strangers

Beware of the night

Take care, there are dangers that lurk in your sight

You stray from the pack

And hunt in the dark

Now who's afraid of the wolf, and who's afraid of the shark
