Grinning Like a Barracuda

I was choking on a pair of dice When a couple of guys Came and asked me if I had a light I told them I knew someone who might So I took them to the opposite side Of Hollywood and Vine To a friend of mine When we asked him if he had a light He told us just to look inside and started Grinning like a barracuda Grinning like a barracuda He was grinning like a barracuda From the Taj Mahal to Chattanooga Grinning like a barracuda From the cosmos to the bargain of Judas Grinning like a barracuda Well, I shrugged and then I took him aside I said, "Man, are you feeling alright? 'Cause you're acting like your brain has been fried I don't even know these guys But I think they might be looking to fight C'mon, do what's right, just give 'em the light" But then I turned back to the opposite side And I couldn't believe my eyes when they started Grinning like a barracuda Grinning like a barracuda They were grinning like a barracuda From Tiananmen Square to Bermuda Grinning like a barracuda From the cosmos to the bargain of Judas Grinning like a barracuda I pinched myself and pulled on my eyelids Am I really alive? Is this some kind of maniacal virus? Is there something that I've missed? How much longer can I survive this? That's it, I'm looking inside When I saw it I just couldn't deny it A light so bright it shot through my iris And I started Grinning like a barracuda Grinning like a barracuda I was grinning like a barracuda From the Taj Mahal to Chattanooga Grinning like a barracuda From the cosmos to the bargain of Judas Even the broke, blind, vile and toothless Started (everybody, everywhere) Grinning like a barracuda Grinning like a barracuda Everybody grinning like a barracuda Looking like a hundred thousand hallelujahs Grinning like a barracuda From the cosmos to the bargain of Judas Even the broke, blind, vile and toothless Were grinning like a barracuda
