Van der Graaf Generator – Squid/Octopus Lyrics

Artist: Van der Graaf Generator
Song: Squid/Octopus

I wish that you would set me free forever
Oh, but these rings on my arms are too deeply burned…
Oh, no, no, no, no, I can’t let you go
I can’t let you go

I want to paint you long poems full of fire
You who I do not know
Now my mind is tested with love which
Twists and wavers from side to side

And which some day soon you may see…
I want you to cascade
Through ten thousand rainbows with me
You who I now begin to know

But emotion is pent up inside
Too scared of dying again to live
And meanwhile I must endure
Your red-copper hair screaming like a water-baby

Black eyes stare from my ceiling…
You who I now truly know
Now I cannot see too clearly
And already my trellis stands bare

How can I break free of these overclinging arms
Which entwine and enfold me
And reach to the clear blue sea?
I want you to know, but how can I tell you?

I want you to see but my own eyes are blind
The Octopus now enfolds me
I know you too well…
I know you too well…

I know you too well…
