The Dolphins and the Shark Songtext
von Crime & the City Solution

The urban heat is stifling, the kettle′s on the boil
The dishes are dirty and the milk's about to spoil
The sounds in my head crowd the hours
You brush across me like a summer shower
It ain′t loud now

Like a circle, like a ring, there is order in all things
As I open up my eyes to see, you are everything you seem to be
There's nothing to say, you know it anyway
All is in its place as I lean down to tie your lace
Lean down and kiss your face

Explorers and castaways alike put their maps into the ground
And quietly found some new ideas to kick around


As I turn my eyes to see, you are so familiar to me
Like a circle, like a ring, there is order to all things
Waking from the slums of the night
You kick your toes out and touch the light
You are a beautiful and lazy sight
And there is time enough to see, you are everything you seem to be
There's nothing you need to say, you′ve been with me all my days
You′re the circle that's complete
You′re the dolphins and the sharks, you're every part
You′re everything you seem to be
You're the circle that′s complete
You're the dolphins and the sharks, you're every part
You′re everything you seem to be
