o polvo aparece no vídeo do vert. tão bonito (lá mais para o fim)



I got some beans & an octopus, & I need to travel fast
Yeah I dreamed I crossed the Bosphorus in a polystyrene raft
& then I dreamed I was insomniac, awake for 15 days
Until I woke up in the second act of someone else's play

& somewhere in the middle of the seventh scene
They came to me in uniforms of ultramarine
They said "Hey!", I said "What?", they said "We know where you've been"
But they were wrong, & I was fast, & as I ran I heard them scream:

Velocity is all you need, so clap yr hands
& in the end you'll come to see that it's all you have

Someone dressed as Father Christmas who'd just held up a bank
Called out my name tried to enlist us, but I had to say "No thanks"
I said "We're being chased by men in hats who don't like where we're from"
He said "They think that all food comes in packs - they probably think yr beans are bombs"

& then he took me by the hand & led us down some spiral stairs
& we travelled through a city in a state of disrepair
W/ the border guards behind us waving pointless questionnaires
& shouting "Have you ever been a terrorist, & did you ever have long hair?"

Velocity is all you need, so clap yr hands
& in the end you'll come to see that it's all you have

Well they tried to arrest me for being in the wrong place
So I tried to make them see they were working on the wrong case
& then the octopus stepped forward w/ a twinkle in his eye
& said "We'd love to chat some more, but we really have to fly"

& then he took me by the tentacle & began to spin
The guards all disappeared behind a blur of suckered limbs
We rose up from the pavement like an angel from a pin
& we flew above the city, we saw sites of might-have-been
& scenes of love & theft, & someone trying to copyright his chin
& as we held a holding pattern, they all raised their heads to sing:


Velocity is all you need, so clap yr hands
& in the end you'll come to see that it's all you have
