Every year this beach will lose a couple inches
Every storm this beach will lose a couple feet
You can dredge Port Royal Sound til it's a thousand meters deep
You can't escape the glaciers' slide into the sea
When I get old I'm gonna look like Richard Dreyfuss
Richard Dreyfuss used to look a lot like me
And when I stand here on the sand with all these shark teeth in my hands
I wonder what this summer's crisis's gonna be
It's gonna break my heart to pieces when
They close the beach and pack it in
But if you want to save your friends
You're gonna need a bigger boat
Every year the air gets marginally thicker
Every year I get a little bit less chill
And in the waters off the coast there is a shark that feeds and grows
And soon enough he will be big enough to kill
When I get old this world is going to be mayhem
This world that used to make a certain kind of sense
So in the meantime I will swim and try to look out for the fins
And try forgetting that this summer's gonna end
It's gonna break my heart to pieces when
They close the gates and kill your friends
But if you want to make it to the bitter end
You're gonna need a bigger boat
If you can kill the shark you might save the summer
If you can kill the shark you might save the summer
If you can find a way to dismantle the shark you might save the summer
If you can find a way to kill the shark and stop him from eating you might save the summer
If you can kill the shark you might save the summer
If you can kill the shark you might save the summer
But if you fail
And the shark keeps growing
And growing
And growing
And growing
You're gonna need a bigger boat
It's been said our drummer looks like Kevin Costner
