The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

Eyeing the Sharks


Preprise

Recommended Posts

Today I'm a boat.

Tomorrow I'm a sailor

Fighting off squids, chasing a wave.

 

Today I'm a book.

Tomorrow I'm a writer

Cursing and spitting at the page.

 

I can dress the part

And I can play the role.

I'm eyeing the sharks.

I'm eating them whole.

 

Today I'm a goat.

Tomorrow I'm a mountain.

The faces of which can not fade.

Today I'm a floatTomorrow I'm a-marchin'.

Blowing my horn at your parade.

 

I can dress the part

And I can play the role.

I'm eyeing the sharks.

I'm eating them whole.

 

When you tear away the full disguise

And find the center of my illusion.

I'll be far away from prying eyes

Sacrificing my delusion.

 

I can dress the part

And I can play the role.

I'm eyeing the sharks.

I'm eating them whole.

I think you might be able to tighten up a few lines here and there to help the flow. Example:

 

Today I'm a boat.

Tomorrow I'm a sailor <====Tomorrow, a sailor:

Fighting off squids, chasing a wave. <====Fighting squid, chasing a wave

 

Today I'm a book.

Tomorrow I'm a writer <====Tomorrow, a writer:

Cursing and spitting at the page. <====Cursing, spitting at the page.
