Watch: New Singing Lesson Videos Can Make Anyone A Great Singer
The octopus has three hearts, it lives in caves below the sea Or in a beer can or a bath tub or a puddle on the street Any fisherman can tell you when an octopus waves its arms It hypnotizes schools of fish, all movement stops for miles Even the waves stand still, all the witnesses have sworn And it’s impossible to resist the urge to jump overboard That’s why I know I shouldn’t go on a seashore holiday But I know that no one has to know if I take an evening stroll Down to the end of the wooden pier where the water’s deep and cold For if I should see an octopus lift its arms out of the sea Or see its shadow rising up across the rooftops above the street I’d follow those dancing limbs to the spinning edge of the sky Where all the boats fall off the world into the octopus’s eye That’s why I know I shouldn’t go on a cruise across the sea But I know that no one has to know if I take an evening stroll Down to the end of the wooden pier where the water’s deep and cold
