Killer Barracuda Lyrics

K. Kristofferson
INTRO: Cm
Look here in the water, see the barracuda
Patient as the devil, hangin' still
Like a shadow in the water, pretty barracuda
Dagger of the devil, waitin' to kill
CHORUS:
Little girl beware the killer barracuda
He rules these waters like a king
He'll cut your heart out, slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's hungry, 'cause he's mean
(KEY CHANGE)
You can see the shark there, glidin' thru the water
Ugly as death, eats anything
But the pretty barracuda don't touch no leavin'
Takin' what he wants to 'cause he's king
(KEY CHANGE)
You can't scare him or entice him
He wouldn't move for the devil 'til his own time
Quicker than a heartbeat, he'll turn you away girl
Just to see you fall and leave you dyin'
CHORUS:
Little girl beware the killer barracuda
He rules these waters like a king
He'll cut your heart out, slicker than a dagger
Not 'cause he's hungry, 'cause he's mean
OUTRO: Dm
