Squid Eye - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Give me a pile of hell

Give me a minute or three

I’ll do what I do well:

Get down on my hands and my knees

And take from the awful an awesome

And find in the maelstrom a face

You say there’s nothing there

I say it’s a tremendous place

I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

It ain’t not there, it’s just hid

And I’ve got the eye for the squid

Give me a terrible sound

Give me a forbidding ocean

O how the waves will pound

And intimidate you with their motion

Baby I’ll dive right in

As if I were Aquaman’s kid

I could be Ariel’s kin

Cause I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

It ain’t not there, it’s just hid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

Time to reclaim what is there

Time to recapture the world

Potty-train a Kodiak bear

If you’re a boy then dance like a girl

Cherish infinity’s roar

In the tumult of shorebreaking wave

Fortify your God-given core

Give love to others with the idea that they’ve…

Got the eye for the squid

Got the eye for the squid

They’ve got the eye for the squid

It ain’t not there, it’s just hid

They’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

I’ve got the eye for the squid

It ain’t not there, it’s just hid

I’ve got the eye for the squid
