The Handsome Family - Octopus

The octopus ^Chas 3 hearts ^FAnd lives in caves ^Fmbelow the sea Or in a ^Cbeer can ^Gor a ^Fbath tub Or a ^Epuddle in the ^Amstreet

Any fisherman can ^Ctell you When an ^Foctopus ^Fmwaves its arms It ^Chypno^Gtizes ^Fschools of fish All ^Emovement stops for ^Ammiles

Even the waves stand ^Cstill All the ^Fwitnesses have ^Fmsworn And itâ?^C?™s im^Gpossibl^Fe to resist The ^Eurge to jump ^Amoverboard

Thatâ?^C?™s why I try and stay away From ^Fseashore holiday^Fms

But I ^Cknow that ^Gno one ^Fhas to know If I ^Ctake an ^Gevening ^Fstroll ^CDown to the ^Gend of the ^Fwooden peer Where the ^Ewater’s deep^Am and cold

If I should see an ^Coctopus ^FLift its arms ^Fmout of the sea Or ^Csee its ^Gshadow ^Frising up Cross the ^Erooftops above the ^Amstreets

I’d follow those dan^Ccing limbs To the ^Fspinning edge ^Fmof the sky ^CWhere all the ^Gboats fall ^Foff the world Into ^Ethe octopusâ?^Am?™s eye

Thatâ?^C?™s why I know I shouldn’t go On a ^Fcruise across the ^Fmsea

But I ^Cknow that ^Gno one ^Fhas to know If I ^Ctake an ^Gevening ^Fstroll ^CDown to the ^Gend of the ^Fwooden peer Where the ^Ewater’s deep^Am and cold

Thatâ?^C?™s why I try and stay away From ^Fseashore holid^Fmays

But I ^Cknow that ^Gno one ^Fhas to know If I ^Ctake an ^Gevening ^Fstroll ^CDown to the ^Gend of the ^Fwooden peer Where the ^Ewater’s deep^Am and cold
