Thing Called Springtime

There's a Ten Ton Octopus lying on the floor

Says "who you calling octopus?" sinks and sleeps some more

He's a sedimental octopus, heavy on my brain

Oh the Ten Ton Octopus is driving me insane

Now, the 'Pus, he's got three keys for every limb

He says they keep things open, but man, they weigh down on him

He was a jingle jangle octopus, but winter stole the door

Doesn't think he matters anymore! Owwwowwwbububbubbubbbbowww!

Now this Thing Called Springtime, thinks that it's a rose

Nuzzles up to the Octopus and bubbles up his nose

And the Ten Ton Octopus rises up and grows

He swells out great big waves to crash the shore

He repeats, "I don't matter anymore!"

And he sinks back to the ocean floor

But the Thing Called Springtime yanks him back again

Joins him in my brain

Now this Thing Called Springtime's driving me insane

Excellent liar

Shine like a cup of wire

Take me out & fool me into the morning

Sun going down

You'll simply turn around

& fool me into thinking this is the morning

one last look is no last look is no last look at all

Paint me a scene

rooftops & plasticine

to fool me into seeing what I've got eyes for

excellent luck

stained by the gray that stuck

your fingernails can feel the trace I've no eyes for

something gets forgotten that's what the lie's for

take me out to steal the pink of the moon

You can not shatter

you deal with supple matter

that warms to the hand

I am not supple

until you keep me warm

for a couple days unshaped but displaced

by your copper rays

So you you see

nothing but wires in me

we'll take them out & shape them into the morning

yeah, we'll lay them out & read the sign of a warning

in the coppery liar

plasticine veined with wire

wake me up, we'll drink a cup in the morning

dropping off to see me without a warning

drop me off below the light of the moon
