Swim With Sharks - Lauren Marcus

Music by Rachel Peters
Lyrics by Michael R. Jackson

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE REAL
BECAUSE YOU SEE THROUGH ALL THE KAKA
BECAUSE YOU NEVER MAKE ME FEEL
LIKE A SECOND FIDDLE OR THIRD RATE CHEWBACCA
I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU KNOW JUST HOW TO TEMPER YOUR REMARKS
YOU'RE A DOLPHIN
WHEN I'M FORCED TO SWIM WITH SHARKS

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE WEIRD
BUT YOU EMBRACE YOUR EVERY LAMENESS
AND YET YOU'VE NEVER ONCE REVERED
ANY SACRED COW OR GROUPTHINKING SAMENESS
I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU STRAY AWAY FROM DISNEY THEMELAND PARKS
YOU'RE A DOLPHIN
WHEN I'M FORCED TO SWIM WITH SHARKS

AND THEY SEEM SOOOOO NICE AND WELL ADJUSTED
AND THEY ARE SOOOOO NICE BUT NEVER TO BE TRUSTED
A COLD WATER HANDSHAKE
A LEAKY, LEAKY SMILE
SAYING "THAT'S AMAZING! "THAT'S AMAZING!" ALL THE WHILE
MY FEAR IS MOTHER'S MILK TO THEM
IT'S BLOOD SPLASHED IN THEIR TEA
THEY SWIM IN SOCIAL CIRCLES FIRST
THEN THEIR TEETH DESCEND ON ME

I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU CARE
BECAUSE YOU WON'T STAND THERE AND JUDGE ME
BECAUSE YOU LET ME OVERSHARE
AND BECAUSE YOU'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO BEGRUDGE ME
I LOVE YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE LIGHT
WHEN I'M JUST STUMBLING IN THE DARK
YOU'RE A DOLPHIN
WHEN I'M FORCED TO BE A SHARK

AND I DON'T KNOW THE NEXT TIME I'LL BE HUMAN
AND MAYBE IT'S ALL JUST A MATTER OF WHEN
BUT I CAN'T STAND THIS FORM I HAVE TAKEN

AND I LONG TO SWIM WITH DOLPHINS ONCE AGAIN
AND I LONG TO SWIM WITH DOLPHINS ONCE AGAIN
AND I LONG TO SWIM WITH DOLPHINS ONCE AGAIN
HMM ...
