Manta Rays Songtext
von Charming Disaster

Here are some amazing things about Manta rays
They resemble magical flying carpets, or mysterious capes
Some call them devil fish
Or eagle rays
Is that another name for them, or just one kind?
We′re not sure

They are migratory over the ocean
What do they eat? Zooplankton
They exhibit a dark intelligence
They are salt water dwelling
They can grow up to seven meters wide
That's 23 feet!

Manta rays
We don′t know why they do the things they do
But one day
I would like to ride one
I would like to ride one too (I would like to ride one too)
I would like to ride one too


Are they electrical?
No
Do they have eye stalks or antennae?
Not eye stalks, cephalic lobes
Are their mouths on bottom like a vacuum?
No
Do they sleep?
We're not sure

Manta rays
We don't know why they do the things they do (things they do)
But one day
I would like to ride one
I would like to ride one too (I would like to ride one too)
I would like to ride one too

They have a vestigial sting barb
They cannot swim backwards
They are cousins to sharks and skates
They′re kind of hard to talk to
Two words
Live pups
Are they immortal?
We′re not sure


Manta rays
We don't know why they do the things
They do the things, they do the things they do
But one day
I would like to ride one
I would like to ride one too (I would like to ride one too)
I would like to ride one too
I would like to ride one too
