Beach House

John Darnielle

[Intro]
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, namely, that it's populated by seals
I'd strongly suggest to you that you not hang out there anymore

[Verse 1]
'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

[Bridge]
Now when I say that the seal is vicious, I use the term advisedly
According to Webster's 9th New Collegiate, definition 4b
States that vicious means, "marked by ferocity"
And offers as a synonym, "savage"

[Verse 2]
'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
