In September 2010, a film was released on the SyFy Channel entitled "Sharktopus."
This song has nothing to do with that movie, we just thought the word "sharktopus" sounded cool. It's a song about a couple out at sea, and what happens to them when an evil sea monster arises.
lyrics
Deep under the ocean lives some kind of creature
Just under our sailboat, waiting to strike
And darling, you said that true love’s on the inside
Well, soon you might see those insides outside
Run from the ocean to the seashore
Run from the seashore to the city
Run from the city, but it’s no use
Run till the sharktopus makes you into seafood
Think you can hide, well, it’ll find you
Think that you’re safe, well, it’ll watch you
Girl, I don’t think I can defend you
When we become the next ones on the menu
My feelings are sinking, just like our surroundings
My heart’s not just yours now, but hey I tried
The monster emerges, waves pounding our sailboat
Well, guess this looks like the last wave, goodbye
Run from the ocean to the seashore
Run from the seashore to the city
Run from the city, but it’s no use
Run till the sharktopus makes you into seafood
Think you can hide, well, it’ll find you
Think that you’re safe, well, it’ll watch you
Girl, I don’t think I can defend you
When we become the next ones on the menu
Run from the ocean to the seashore
Run from the seashore to the city
Run from the city, but it’s no use
Run till the sharktopus makes you into seafood
Think you can hide and I will hold you
Think that you’re safe and I’ll console you
Girl, I will always be there with you
Cause we’ve become the next ones on the menu
