Narwhals

I let a candy - cane striped tooth come out of my head
The size of a sword, I let fear get out of me this time instead

This can extend longer, I can sense if you come near me, baby
No need to migrate, when I got you by my side, come to me

We can be here five months if you dare
Let's let it all go, for each other we must care

Under the Baffin-Bay Davis Strait
Underwater collisions, can't hear, getting late

Can't you see the threats we have to face everyday?
Pollution is what is making it hard to see you, my bay?

Gimme some polar cod, squid, and shrimp
I'll take you half a mile in the water, pimp

hmm, hmm, hmm?
mmmm, mmm, mmm

Time to change colors because I'm aging
Blue and black now, let's go dancing
