Sharkskin Songtext
von Kevin Beadles

He was dressed like a million bucks
Double-breasted, front-pleated, tailored cuffs
He took my girl like a check to the bank
I felt like I was shot point-blank

She left my heart ripped and torn
Threadbare like the jeans I′d worn
At first I thought I'd never get through it
′Til I found me a suit with a bad attitude

I'm wearing sharkskin, I'm dressed to kill
In my sharkskin, no one will hurt me again
I used to be an easy mark but that was then
Now I′m dangerous ′cause I'm in sharkskin


I cruise the clubs in the murky dark
I kiss the little girls and break their hearts
Gotta move just so I can breathe
A shark ain′t got no memories...

Of being left ripped and torn
Threadbare like the jeans I'd worn
At first I thought I′d never get through it
'Til I found me a suit with a bad attitude

I′m wearing sharkskin, I'm dressed to kill
In my sharkskin, no one will hurt me again
I used to be an easy mark but that was then
Now I'm dangerous ′cause I′m in sharkskin

Someday I'll feel no pain
I′ll be a heartless creature
Solitary, cold-blooded, slick as rain


I'm wearing sharkskin, I′m dressed to kill
In my sharkskin, no one will hurt me again
I used to be an easy mark but that was then
Now I'm dangerous ′cause I'm in sharkskin
Sharkskin
