Ocean Wisdom – Centipedes lyrics

We all move like centipedes
Throughout the centuries, endlessly
Looked at my watch it was 10 to 3
That’s time for the change no destiny

Ha, ch’yeah, I make money on that
Focusing on my recipe
Now my resume resonates
Through my lyrical entity

Yeah I got time for a demonstration
Have you got time for a centipede?
Walking about, tens of feet
I tend to move, don’t tend to speak

Now believe me it’s so surreal
I’m on your brethren’s MP3
I don’t really know if you get me G
I said it’s time for the change like election week

It goes on and on
Stay strong but it goes on and on
I don’t really care, what’s done is done
But I keep looking back like I’m on the run

Mum told me don’t be a bum
So I thought that I’d be a don
All my brethren’s getting waved
I had to put that beer down


Put it down and went slo mo
Still burning that chro though
Been burning that chro slow
Since Gandalf was a homo

Anyway I know sometimes
Sometimes you’ve got to show folks
Really is it a no go
To be inspired by your own ghost?

We all centipedes
Yeah we all move like centipedes
I don’t wanna go to the cemeteries
So I look in the sky and say rest in peace

I don’t really know if that makes a difference
And I don’t really know what I’m meant to be
Looked at my watch it was 10 to 3
It’s about that time, they tend to flee

I was right next to the lecturing
But I didn’t feel it was meant to be
So man I never went uni
I felt like it was best for me

I was right next to the precipice
But I didn’t feel I was meant to leave
Dangling over the edge of this
Adrenaline junkie, best believe


We all move like centipedes
It’s dead to me
Looked at my watch it was 10 to 3
That’s time for a zoot and a Tetley Tea

Oi, you better show courage on that
Cus they be afraid to attempt to dream
And I don’t really wanna turn 23
Without at least attempting to get the P

Without at least attempting to bless the scene
I want good food in my fridge as well
Wife and a couple of kids as well
Drink but I hope that my liver’s well

Cus I wanna live long, and prosperous
Why does everybody keep watching us
Isn’t it obvious?
We going far away so grab your binoculars, huh?

Centipedes
Yeah we all move like centipedes
I don’t wanna go to the cemetery
So I look to the sky and say rest in peace

I don’t really know if that makes a difference
And I don’t really know what I’m meant to be
Looked at my watch it was 10 to 3
It’s about that time they tend to flee


I was next to the lecturing
Didn’t feel it was meant to be
So man I never went uni
I felt like it was best for me

I was right next to the precipice
But I didn’t feel I was meant to leave
Dangling over the edge of this
Adrenaline junkie, best believe

It goes on and on
Stay strong but it goes on and on
I don’t really care, what’s done is done
But I keep looking back like I’m on the run

Mum told me don’t be a bum
So I thought that I’d be a don
All my brethren’s getting waved
I had to put that beer down

Put it down and went slo mo
Still burning that chro though
Been burning that chro slow
Since Gandalf was a homo

Anyway I know sometimes
Sometimes you’ve got to show folks
Really is it a no go
To be inspired by your own ghost?

We all centipedes
