Florence & The Machine - Kraken

Tekst piosenki

Sometimes my body seems so alien to me
I quiet it down by watching TV
Grow restless and grow hungry
As the water rises up around me

You come on-screen
So good looking and subscene
I put my fist into my mouth and scream
Some things, it seems, are catching up with me

And as it rises to my chin
I should really stop watching
And as I reach for the remote
It is rushing down my throat
I let it in
I start to swim
I grow many arms and legs and then I start to sing

And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to take
I kiss them all and let them drown
Oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So, when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?

Ah, ah-ah-ah
Do you see me now?
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah
(Do you see me now?)

Creature from the deep
Do I hunt you in your sleep?
My tentacles so tender, as I caress your cheek
Did you know how big I would become?
And how much I would eat?
So glamorous and ravenous as I drag you off your feet
There's nothing you can do
Some things it seems are catching up with you

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah

You said I would be nothing
But look, I'm really something
Many arms around the mast as your ship starts cracking
Will you see me through the pain?
Have you changed? So have I
As I fix you in the gaze of my one and blinking eye
Do I terrify?

And all of my peers, they had such potential
The swamp, it took them down
And my love, I have to take
I kiss them all and let them drown, oh
You didn't see me, just another drunken groupie
So when your hand reached out
I just pushed you further down
Well, do you see me now?

Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me?)
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah, ah (Do you see me now?)
