Octopus

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

Bubbling 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?

 

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

 

They ran and they ran

From his classroom

Roll another 40

Make them scream

Gonna show you

How we do things

In my hood

 

Tripping and a-tripping

Erase all tapes

John Wayne

Rob Roy

Feel no pain

This is the point

Where you look the other way

 

You done

Lost your mind

 

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
