Octopus

[Verse 1]
The octopus is back
Wrapped his eight arms around my neck
And held me tighter than a Chinese finger trap

His eyes are wavy green
I've peered inside the slime and seen
That there was nothing but a sinking water ship
And it will not swim anymore
For the daisies won't grow upon the shore

[Chorus]
Cheery bright
But always expiring
'Til ya do it all again
Christmas was inspired by you

[Verse 2]
The octopus has snapped
I've gone, I've left, I won't come back
I could not find the love that I needed to have

His eyes have disappeared
From the beginning, I had feared
That gambling with this mess would be disastrous
Oh, my burn is complete
For my days are sour and I won't live so sweet

[Chorus]
Cheery bright
But always expiring
'Til ya do it all again
Christmas was inspired by you

Cheery bright
But always expiring
'Til ya do it all again
Christmas was inspired by you

Cheery bright
But always expiring
Yeah you'll do it all again
Christmas was inspired by you

Cheery bright
But always expiring
Yeah you'll do it all again
Christmas was inspired by you
