The Fiery Furnaces - Asthma Attack lyrics

I woulda had a asthma attack If I seen the shark bite back I woulda had a asthma attack If I seen the shark bite back Yeah it's paradise island I know Yeah, yeah, yeah I been there before Once, twice, three times maybe Once with my Moms and twice with my baby I shook my silver bracelet at a thousand times They like the shimmer-glimmer but said No never, no never, no never swim in the dark Once, twice, three times maybe Once with my Moms and twice with my baby I woulda had a asthma attack If I seen the shark bite back I woulda had a asthma attack If I seen the shark bite back Yeah, yeah it's just a figure of speech A python ate my babe when he hit the beach
