See the Enemy Songtext
von Andrew Bird

Hold on just a second
Don′t tell me this one you know
I love this song, I know this song
I love this song, I love this song

Hold on just a second
Don't tell me this one you know
I love this song, I know this song
I wrote this song, I know this song

I see a sea anemone
See the enemy
See a sea anemone
And that′ll be the end of me
Be the end of me

The vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils
Tenderest the tendrils
The vicious fish was caught unawares in the tenderest of tendrils
Tenderest the tendrils


I see a sea anemone
See the enemy
See a sea anemone
And that'll be the end of me
Be the end of me

I will become this animal
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Perfectly adapted to a music hall
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, and I will become this animal
Oh, oh
Anomalous appendages
A non-animal, a non-animal

A non-animal, a non-animal
A non-animal, a non-animal
A non-animal, a non-animal
A non-animal, a non-animal

I see a sea anemone
See the enemy
See a sea anemone
And that'll be the end of me


A vicious fish was caught unawares in my tenderest of tendrils
Underneath her tender gills
The seemingly innocuous plecostomus
Though posthumous
It talks to us
It talks 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
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Perfectly adapted to a music hall
Oh, oh, and I will become this animal
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
Anomalous appendages
A non-animal, a non-animal

A non-animal, a non-animal
A non-animal, a non-animal
A non-animal, a non-animal
A non-animal, a non-animal
