Octopus from SPACETIME by The Double Happiness

Octopus
Octopus

Her suckers on me and I’m so happy
And the water is so damn cold
She spilled some ink, she’s scared I think
I’ll follow her now, my breath I’ll hold, breath I’ll hold

Octopus bright, octopus light, octopus right
Thinking of her by the kitchen sink, taking me back into the drink
Octopus bright, octopus light, octopus right

Taking me back into the drink, taking me down into the drink
Taking me back into the drink, taking me down into the drink
Thousands of young, and now there’s just one

Some lucky yesterdays, some lucky yesterdays
Taking my time, taking my mind, taking my time
Thinking of her by the kitchen sink, taking me back into the drink
Thinking of her by the kitchen sink, taking me down

The octopus she has nine brains
We have but one of them, with which to play our games
The stomach and the heart cannot complain (the octopus)
So come and throw your tentacles across my chest again (the octopus)
