otter song from Nice Try by Leon Patriz

he came in in the middle of the night
he came in in there looking for a fight
there were pieces of broken glass on the ground
there were people on the street standing around

he took one look and said that i don't know
to him it felt like any other show
there noises coming down from the stage
there were voices in his head filled with rage

he stood in line waiting at the bar
the special was four dollar pbr
after six he could finally gain the courage
to go up to who he was to have a stir with

he tapped him on the back of his shoulder
after that the room got colder
he shoved him into a bunch of empty tables
knocking over cans of different labels

after that things got violent
suddenly the band went silent
security was called to end the fight
but the coward somehow ran off into the night

blood was dripping down from his nose
other blood now stained his clothes
the cops were called and filed a report
the man chose what was now his last resort

he found himself all covered in water
he must have somehow turned into an otter
he swam off as the sun started to rise
imagining the look in her surprise
