See The Enemy Lyrics

Andrew Bird See The Enemy

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
