Lyrics Kris Kristofferson

Kris Kristofferson

Killer Barracuda

Look into water, see the barracuda

Patient as the devil

Hanging still

Like a shadow in the water

Pretty barracuda,

Dagger of the devil

Waiting to kill

Little girl beware, of killer barracuda

He rules these waters like a king

He'll cut your heart out slicker than a dagger

Not 'cause he's hungry 'cause he's mean

You can see the shark now

Glidin' through the water

Ugly as death.

Eats anything

But the pretty barracuda, don't touch no leavins

Takin' what he wants to

'cause he's king

And you can't scare him or entice him

He won't move for the devil, 'til his own time

Then quicker than heartbeat

He'll turn you away girl just to

See you fall, and leave you dyin'

Little girl beware of the killer barracuda

He rules these waters like a king

He'll cut your heart out slicker than a dagger

Not 'cause he's hungry

'cause he's mean
