Beach House Songtext
von The Mountain Goats

I get letters telling me since I moved away
You′ve taken to hanging out on that rock about a mile from shore

Given what I know about that rock mainly that it's populated by seals
I strongly suggest to you that you not hang out there anymore

Cause the seal is a wily and a vicious creature
And the seal will bite you if you give him half a chance
Yeah the seal has a mind set on violence
And the seal is the sworn enemy of man


Now when I say that the seal is vicious I use the term advisedly
According to Webster′s 9th New Collegiate Definition 4b.

Which states that vicious means marked by ferocity
And offers as a synonym, savage

Cause the seal is a vicious and a wily creature
And the seal has a mind full of evil designs
And the seal will harm you and laugh about it
Yeah the seal is not a creature you want to toy with
Yeah the seal is not a creature you want to toy with
