Van der Graaf Generator — Squid/Octopus

[Squid 1] [Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I wish that you would set me free forever Oh, but these rings on my arms are too deeply burned... Oh, no, no, no, no, I can't let you go I can't let you go [Squid 2] [Organ Solo/Saxophone Solo] [Octopus] [Instrumental Intro] [Intro] I want to paint you long poems full of fire You who I do not know [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] But emotion is pent up inside Too scared of dying again to live And meanwhile I must endure Your red-copper hair screaming like a water-baby Black eyes stare from my ceiling... You who I now truly know [Interlude] [Verse 4] 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 [Bridge] The Octopus now enfolds me I know you too well... I know you too well... I know you too well... [Instrumental Outro]
