Vixen of the Deep - The Speed of Sound in Seawater

Big beautiful eyes

If I look too long, I might capsize

If I could locate your thighs

I’d give you something to remember me by

Vixen of the Deep

Oh, the secrets we must keep

Hush, love

Shut your beak

We must not speak

We’ll elope in the night

A spineless man and invertebrate wife

Won’t we be quite the sight?

Our twelve legs all dangling together so tight

Vixen of the Deep

Oh, the secrets our love breeds

I just can’t wait to meet

Your family

Ink black

Your eyes won’t hold contact

Why can’t you just look your poor love in the eye?

Is it something that I did?

Or is this numbness your birthright?

Just look at me Vixen, like the night our eyes first met

I’ve never seen those saucers look so wet

While there may be other fish in the sea

None of them are as committed to you as me

Our inability to breed

Means nothing to me

Honestly
