Swimming With the Sharks Lyrics

You never see'em comin'
Till they're pullin' ya down
Princes of Atlantis
With blood on their crowns
They act as if they're slummin'
Say they're buyin' ya cheap
Tell ya what the plan is
Tryin' to get you in deep
Get you in deep

Oooh...
And by the time ya stop an' think
By the time ya turn around
It's too late - you're already sinking
Doesn't matter if ya drown
Ya gotta know...

You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!
The prettier the faces
Babe, blacker the souls
Underneath the heat are
The coolest of cold

They treat ya like a driver
Takin' them for a ride
Tantalizin' bait to
Reel you in with the ride
In with the ride

Oooh...
And by the time ya stop an' think
By the time ya turn around
It's too late - you're already sinking
Doesn't matter if ya drown
Ya gotta know...
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!

Oooh...
Another pill, another drill
Doesn't matter anymore
It's too late - you're already sinking...
Oooh...
Another needle dripped in ink
Isn't washin' you ashore...
It's too late - you're already sinking...
Doesn't matter if ya drown...
Ya gotta know...
