Octopus Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It hid and it hid in his bedroom
Psycho killer, teen dream, action film

Gonna show you how we get down in my hood
Bubbling and bubbling, the cheap champagne

Leyendecker, hole wrecker, feel no pain
Lying face down when I swing your way, and what?
What's my name? What's my name?


[Chorus]
Mary Anna
Said it's a no-go
She don't feel like
She don't think so
But I don't know why
I feel like crying
Well, come on, come on
Say come on

[Verse 2]
They ran and they ran from his classroom
Roll another forty, make them scream

Gonna show you how we do things in my hood
Tripping and a-tripping then erase the tapes
John Wayne, Rob Roy, feel no pain
This is the point where you look the other way
[Pre-Chorus]
You done lost your mind

[Chorus]
Mary Anna
Said it's a no-go
She don't feel like
She don't think so
But I don't know why
I feel like crying
Well, come on, come on
Say come on
Come on

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Mary Anna
Said it's a no-go
She don't feel like
She don't think so
But I don't know why
I feel like crying
Well, come on, come on
Say come on
Come on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
