lyrics

This octopus, majestic gargoyle
Static looming sentinel
Unsleeping beauty tends her eggs
Her gentle movements keep their water fresh
As the clutch of eggs slowly grows,
Year by year, she is diminished
Where is the father, galavanting?
Chowing on crabs and young octopus
Stacking shells of coconuts
Chewed his own tentacle, grabbed a rubber duck
Her skin once vivid royal purple
Deeply textured, now gone pale and slack
We offer food, but she declines
53 month fast and the mother martyr dies

Why? Please spread your octopus wings
Why? Please do all octopus things
When is your day in the sun,
What sunlight there is in the deep?
Could Eggdad eggsit for a shift,
Release you from the clutches you keep?
