Killer Barracuda

(Kris Kristofferson)



Look into water see the barracuda

Patient as the devil hanging still

Like a shadow in the water pretty barracuda

Dagger of the devil waitin' to kill.



Little girl beware of 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.



You can see the shark now glidin' through the water

Ugly as death eats anything

But the pretty barracuda don't touch no leavings

Takin' what he wants to 'cause he's king.



You can't scare him or entice him

He wouldn't move for the devil till his own time

Then quicker than a heartbeat he'll turn you away girl

Just to see you fall and leave you dyin'.



Little girl beware of 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...
