Dead Shark Lyrics

Don't be so rude
I was only trying to make conversation
Take that wall down, this is not going anywhere
This is not going anywhere

Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands
Got a dead shark on our hands

I'm just trying to get a handle on this
I'm just trying to figure out where I stand
I'm just trying
So sue me for trying

Do I just have a problem?
Or did you also think that this was hot?

I really hate talking to you on the telephone
Can't we just work it out?
Can't you come on over?
Can't we just work it out?
Won't you just stay here tonight?

I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not gazing up at the stars
I'm not thinking 5 years in the future
I'm just wondering where you'll sleep tonight

Do I just have a problem?
Or did you also think that this was hot?

I'm not looking over my shoulder
I'm not gazing up at the stars
I'm not thinking 5 years in the future
I'm just wondering where you'll sleep tonight

Cover art for Dead Shark lyrics by Liz Phair

Because my friend Nina pointed out that a shark is like a relationship; it has to keep moving or it will die. -liz phair's own words

It's also a line from Woody Allen's Annie Hall , a movie about a neurotic relationship. They're discussing their future years together but he thinks to himself, "we have a dead shark on our hands."

These lyrics are also wrong in some sections.

I really hate talking to you on the telephone. Can't we just work it out. Let you come on over. (is - "Can't you come on over?) Can't we just work it out. stay here and mine? ("Won't you just stay here tonight?")
