Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And take from the awful and awesome
And finding the maelstrom of face
You say there's nothing there
I say it's a dream and this place
[Verse 3]
And 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
[Verse 4]
Give me a terrible sound
Give me a forbidding ocean
Oh, how the waves will pound
And intimidate you with their motion
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
And 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
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
Cherish infinity's roar
In the tumult of shore-breaking wave
Fortify your God-given core
Give love to others with the idea that they've
[Verse 9]
Got the eye for the squid
They've got the eye for the squid
They've got the eye for the squid
It ain't not there, it's just hid
And they've got the eye for the squid
[Verse 10]
And 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
