[Instrumental Intro] [Intro] They grew him in a tank Under a blue-white lamp Russet skin, shark teeth Little gills on his back He broke the glass at dawn Hit the sand like a drum Left a wet potato trail And the beach went numb [Breakdown] [Verse 1] Late July, black water. Lab glass, cracked in two. They fed him salt and thunder, But he broke free and now he's hunting you. He rolled out of the surf line, teeth like a broken rake. One eye in the moon-glare, one stink of pond-cold hate. [Bridge] He rolled through the tides Like a cannonball punk Cracked shells, took names Then vanished in the... In the dark waves [Verse 2] Moms pulled their kids in Boards went overheads The lifeguard yelled one word Then he turned and fled [Buildup] [Pre-chorus] Hear that flaps slapping? Hear that body drag? Something in the water Sharp teeth, russet skin. [Chorus] Half-spud, half-shark Bite, bite, bite Half-spud, half-shark Run for your life Half-spud, half-shark Salt on his grin Half-spud, half-shark Biting hard taking names [Post-Chorus] Bite and bloom, he’s coming through! Run, beach goers, he’s after you! (after you) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] He’s got salt in his gills, mud in every seam. Created in a bad dream, now he’s living out the scheme. Keep your feet off the shoreline, keep your snacks locked tight. When the moon hits the foamy edge, he’ll root for a fight. [Bridge 2] He rolls in the foam line With a rotten little grin French fry in the moonlight And a fin full of sin Beachgoers scream and scatter Coolers hit the sand He drags the life ring under With a rooted savage fin-hand [Verse 4] They tried steel nets He chewed right through They dumped sea traps He ate those too Now every full moon At the edge of the pier You hear one wet splash And the warning sneers [Buildup] [Pre-chorus] Hear that flaps slapping? Hear that body drag? Something in the water Sharp teeth, russet skin. [Chorus] Half-spud, half-shark Bite, bite, bite Half-spud, half-shark Run for your life Half-spud, half-shark Salt on his grin Half-spud, half-shark Biting hard taking names [Post-Chorus] Bite and bloom, he’s coming through! Run, beachgoers, he’s after you! (after you) [Instrumental Break] [Outro] In the lab they cursed him Called him flaw and joke Now the whole bay trembles At that starchy monster woke [Spoken] Half-spud, half-shark Run for your life Half-spud, half-shark Nothing stays afloat [Instrumental Outro]
