Kraken

Sometimes my body seems so alien to me
I quiet it down by watching TV
Grow restless and grow hungry
As the water rises up around me
You come onscreen
So good looking it's obscene
I put my fist into my mouth and scream
Some things it seems are catching up with me
And as it rises to my chin, I should really stop watching
And as I reach for the remote, it is rushing down my throat
I let it in, I start to swim
I grow many arms and legs and then I start to sing

And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to tell you
I kissed them all and let them drown, oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me now?)

Creature from the deep, do I haunt you in your sleep?
My tentacles so tender, as I caress your cheek
Did you know how big I would become?
And how much I would eat?
So glamorous and ravenous as I drag you off your feet
There's nothing you can do
Some things it seems are catching up with you

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah

You said I would be nothing, but look, I'm really something
Many arms around the mast as your ship starts cracking
Will you see me through the pain?
Have you changed? So have I
As I fix you in the gaze of my one and blinking eye
Do I terrify?

And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to tell you
I kissed them all and let them drown, oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me now?)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah (do you see me now?)
