Sun's coming up. Like a big bald head
Poking up over the grocery store
It's Sharkey's day. It's Sharkey's day today
Sharkey wakes up and Sharkey says:
There was this man... And there was this road...
And if only I could remember these dreams..
I know they're trying to tell me...something
Ooooeee. Strange dreams. (Strange dreams). Oh yeah

And Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again And it's love
Oh yeah. Strange dreams
And the little girls sing: Oooeee Sharkey
And the manager says: Mr. Sharkey? He's not at his desk right now. Could I take a message?
And the little girls sing: Oooeee Sharkey. He's Mister Heartbreak
They sing: Oooeee Sharkey. Yeah. He's Mister Heartbreak

And Sharkey says: All of nature talks to me
If I could just figure out what it was trying to tell me. Listen!
Trees are swinging in the breeze. They're talking to me
Insects are rubbing their legs together
They're all talking. They're talking to me. And short animals--
They're bucking up on their hind legs. Talking. Talking to me
Hey! Look out! Bugs are crawling up my legs!
You know? I'd rather see this on TV. Tones it down
And Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name
And Sharkey says:
All night long I think of those little planes up there flying around
You can't even see them. They're specks!
And they're full of tiny people. Going places
And Sharkey says: You know? I bet they could all land
On the head of a pin

And the little girls sing: Ooooeee. Sharkey!
He's Mister Heartbreak
They sing: Oooee. That Sharkey!
He's a slow dance on the edge of the lake
He's a whole landscape
Gone to seed. He's gone wild!
He's screeching tires
On an oil slick at midnight on the road to Boston a long time ago

And Sharkey says:
Lights! Camera! Action! TIMBER!
At the beginning of the movie, they know they have to find each other
But they ride off in opposite directions

Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name
Ya know? They're growing mechanical trees
They grow to their full height. And then they chop themselves down

Sharkey says:
All of life comes from some strange lagoon
It rises up, it bucks up to its full height
From a boggy swamp on a foggy night
It creeps into your house. It's life! It's life!

I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
Nobody knows me. Nobody knows my name

Deep in the heart of darkest America. Home of the brave
Ha! Ha! Ha! You've already paid for this. Listen to my heart beat

And the little girls sing:
Oooeee Sharkey. He's a slow dance
On the edge of the lake. They sing:
Ooooeeee. Sharkey
He's Mister Heartbreak
Paging Mr. Sharkey. White courtesy telephone please

And Sharkey says:
I turn around, it's fear
I turn around again, and it's love
And the little girls sing: Ooooeee Sharkey. Yeah
On top of Old Smokey all covered with snow
That's where I wanna, that's where I'm gonna
That's where I'm gonna go
