Lyrics

She came down from Cincinnati
It took her three days on the train
Lookin’ for some peace and quiet
hoped to see the sun again
lives down by the ocean
takin’ care to look for sharks
They hang out down around the waterfront way
And feed right after dark

Can’t you feel ‘em circlin’ (closin’in) honey
Can’t you feel ‘em swimmin’ around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
and your the only bait in town
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
and your the only girl in town

She’s savin’ up most of her money
Wants to head south in May
Maybe roll in the sand with a rock’n’roll man
Somewhere down Montserrat way
But the money’s good in the season
Helps to lighten her load
Boys keep her high as the months go by
She’s gettin’ postcards from the road

Can’t you feel ‘em circlin’ (closin’in) honey
Can’t you feel ‘em swimmin’ around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
and your the only bait in town
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
and your the only girl in town

Sailed off to Antigua
It took her three days on a boat
Lookin’ for some peace and quiet
Maybe keep her dreams afloat
But now she feels like a remora
’cause the school’s still close at hand
Just behind the reef are the big white teeth
of the sharks that swim on land

Can’t you feel ‘em circlin’ (closin’in) honey
Can’t you feel ‘em swimmin’ around
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
and your the only bait in town
You got fins to the left, fins to the right
and your the only girl in town
