See the Enemy - Andrew Bird

Hold on just a second

Don’t tell me this one you know

I know this one I know this song

I know this one I love this song

Hold on just a second

Don’t tell me this one you know

I know this one I know this song

I know this one I love this song

I know this one

Hold on just a second

Don’t tell me this one you know

I know this one I know this song

I know this one I love this song

Hold on just a second

Don’t tell me this one you know

I know this one I know this song

I know this one I love this song

I know this one

I see a sea anemone

The enemy

See a sea anemone

And that’ll be the end of me

While the vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils

Underneath her tender gills

While the vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils

Underneath her tender gills

I see a sea anemone

The enemy

See a sea anemone

And that’ll be the end of me

I will become this animal

Perfectly adapted to the music halls

I will become this animal

Anomalous appendages

A non-animal

I see a sea anemone

The enemy

See a sea anemone

And that’ll be the end of me

While the vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils

Underneath her tender gills

The seemingly innocuous plecostomus

Though posthumous

They talk to us

They talk too much

Underneath the stalactites

The troglobites lost their sight

They never really had it right

They’ve never really seen the light

I will become this animal

Perfectly adapted to a music hall

I will become this animal

Anomalous appendages

A non-animal
