Van Der Graaf Generator - Octopus lyrics

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 And dredge mountains from the sea 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 all 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 I know you too well
