lyrics

Tentacles
Wrap me up
As I jerk
Myself around
Sunset cruise sings
“What a boy!
He picked a fight,
For a toy!”

But only then I should’ve known
How much can I live my life
But only then I could’ve known
How much can my body fight
Summer’s burning on its own

But in the sunset by the Vembanad
I lost my toy car
But in the sunset by the Vembanad
I lost my toy car

I looked for the monster’s heart
But I couldn’t
I looked for some other part
But I wouldn’t
“The heart’s in his mouth”, Dad shouted
And when I looked into its heart, it said

“Dear Boy,
Here’s a pearl
Let me keep,
The toy car”
I said, “No!”
Punched its guts
From what I learnt
From my Mum

But only then I should’ve known
How much has he lived his life
But only then I got to know
That he just completed five
How could I just let him go?


But in the sunset by the Vembanad
I lost my toy car
But in the sunset by the Vembanad
I lost my toy car

How will I find the love
To let him go?
How will I move on without the car?
How will I find the love
To let him go?
How will I move on without the car?

Then I said
“I need it.
Let me go.
Let’s not kill”

The only thing I had to do
Say, “Sorry man I got to go.
Let me take my toy car,
You’ll find one on some other cruise”
Summer’s burning on its own

But in the sunset by the Vembanad
I lost my toy car
I lost my toy car

Oh monster
It belongs to my mother
She’s up in the heaven
I’ll give it back when I get to her
