Octopus
Hold on, churn another record into dust
Spin the wheels until the rubber on the hub comes off the bus
And as the anchor drops and colonies of doctors flood the dock
The awful feeling of the octopus's hands along the clock
Along the clock on Carnival Avenue
You'll never know quite what it does to you
The octopus on Carnival Avenue has got its arms around my dues
Screws loose on the A-train blowing sand along the beach
Its squeaking speaks to me in tongues and numbers way above my reach
The ocean spray, the spray of light
The lightning strikes, the strife
The sunken eyes of the loveless wife
Leaving all that's left between to bite you
Bite down on Carnival Avenue
You'll never know quite what it does to you
The octopus on Carnival Avenue
You'll feel her pull you from your noose
You'll never get out Carnival Avenue
And you'll feel just what that does to you
The octopus is trying to find you
And when it does you'll hear the tune
Spin the wheels until the rubber on the hub comes off the bus
And as the anchor drops and colonies of doctors flood the dock
The awful feeling of the octopus's hands along the clock
Along the clock on Carnival Avenue
You'll never know quite what it does to you
The octopus on Carnival Avenue has got its arms around my dues
Screws loose on the A-train blowing sand along the beach
Its squeaking speaks to me in tongues and numbers way above my reach
The ocean spray, the spray of light
The lightning strikes, the strife
The sunken eyes of the loveless wife
Leaving all that's left between to bite you
Bite down on Carnival Avenue
You'll never know quite what it does to you
The octopus on Carnival Avenue
You'll feel her pull you from your noose
You'll never get out Carnival Avenue
And you'll feel just what that does to you
The octopus is trying to find you
And when it does you'll hear the tune
