Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder. A sleeping bag under a bridge by a canal is still waterfront property.
Barracuda...

Well I saw this couple
Just the other day
Livin under a bridge
In a homeless way
Like a million others
Without any plan
Livin day to day
In the promised land
In this unforgivin world there ain t no doubt
It ll chew you up and it ll spit you out
She calls him barracuda
My barracuda

She used to work in the circus
A real high-wire act
He was a lion tamer
Up until the attack
He came without instructions then he came unglued
And now he s just a monster in a human suit
She calls him barracuda
My barracuda

She still can t figure out what she s doin down there
And she don t know if he loves her or not
He may be a barracuda
But he s the only lover she s got (oh-oooo)
Barracuda

(guitar solo)

She still can t figure out what she s doin down there
And she don t know if he loves her or not
He may be a barracuda
But he s the only lover she s got (oh-oooo)
Barracuda, yeah

My barracuda
Not too many fish in the sea (barracuda)
Just my barracuda and me (my barracuda)
Swimmin around (barracuda)
Check out the town (my barracuda)
He s such a barracuda, ooh, yeah (barracuda, yeah)
