The Octopus

from Gold, Sapphire & Plum by Ethan Andrews

/

lyrics

I’m gonna take it from the top, just when you thought I was done
I’m coming up like a baby, sitting astride the rising sun.

Gold and sapphire, black as the sand
If I came back in plum, would you know who I am?

If I had rings on my fingers and toes?
It’s a well-worn bluff, didn’t you know?

Who can define what isn’t known yet
From a place that has no precedent?

Keep it like a popsicle cool on your lip (As it slips through your fingers)
Like a candle that has no body or wick (Who would have figured?)

And the octopus cobbles from cuttles he kept
He waiting for it, he’s waiting for you, coconut.

Looks good in a coonskin cap, but then you can't just wear one of those all the time without having to answer a lot of questions.
