lyrics
She’s an island
She’s a quack
She’s slipping through the cracks
She’s thin air
She’s hard to detect
But she’s breathing down my neck
She’s an island
She’s backwards
She’s lost focus
The only words she wants to hear are hocus pocus
She’s a steel trap
She’s a locked door
She’s an island and so much more
She’s an island
No one comes or goes
She’s an island
She’s loose change
She’s a sitting duck
She’s lost in my pockets and down on her luck
She’s an island
No one comes or goes
She’s an island
And no one knows
She’s a quack
She’s slipping through the cracks
She’s thin air
She’s hard to detect
But she’s breathing down my neck
She’s an island
She’s backwards
She’s lost focus
The only words she wants to hear are hocus pocus
She’s a steel trap
She’s a locked door
She’s an island and so much more
She’s an island
No one comes or goes
She’s an island
She’s loose change
She’s a sitting duck
She’s lost in my pockets and down on her luck
She’s an island
No one comes or goes
She’s an island
And no one knows

Teenage Octopus Ann Arbor, Michigan
After lead guitarist Bobby Lewis formed Teenage Octopus in 2009, the band wasted no time hitting the Ann Arbor music scene with their fresh, unique sound. Influenced by alternative-rock bands such as Radiohead, Wilco and Spoon as well as jam-band pioneers Phish, the four-piece from University of Michigan's goal is to intertwine smart melodies and explorative jams. ... more
