Transparent Lyrics - Singles - The Servants

squid on my stomach exploding fat 

lying on my belly pretending that 

i was a whale 

washed up on the shore in a sea blue coat 

and a silken streamline pink and mauve 

i drank from the grail 

don't turn your eyes 

away from the window 

it's a see-through disguise 

on the pillow 

the eye looked down as a hulking mass 

spawned by the linger of floating gas 

that clings to the lungs 

close up all light with a curtain tug 

follow the trail of the ceiling bug 

and entwining tongues 

don't turn your eyes 

away from the window 

it's a see-through disguise 

on the pillow 

dark eyes stare from the same place where 

my head was bared in the icy prayer of nightmare 

call up small to a tiny ball 

or out to the hall, to the staircase fall 

hear a distant call 

the size of the bird was an ocean squid 

i understood it secretly shared between 

me and the wall and the record and you 

one and all grown askew 

but there's you and the ten or two i've seen 

cream in the ashtray 

i take back the pictures to my dark hideaway
