Lyrics Squid Eye - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Squid Eye

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
