There's a Monster in the Gowanus! ft. Groove Temple Lyrics

The next big conspiracy is in the canal right off Smith Street

Brooklyn, NYC

Last place you'd expect a mystery

Below the chemical film

In the cancer-causing goo

Is a cryptid that will consume you

A slimy octopod that occupies a body of water so vile

It's a superfund site

Sludgy brown with 12 green eyes

Low oxygen makes it hard to survive

Only one could possibly thrive

There's a monster in the Gowanus

A creature in the canal

Lurking in the deadly pathogens

The monster can be found

There's a monster in the Gowanus

A creature in the canal

In the pollution all around

The monster can be found

Look at the news past the foul fumes

People making moves

Luxury condos with expensive views

Beyond the swill pond

And bacteria unidentified

Construction of a new skyline

The kraken's cousin still waits to be heard

From the depths where it lurks

The water that once caught fire

After rain raw sewage would rise

Only one could possibly thrive

There's a monster in the Gowanus

A creature in the canal

Lurking in the deadly pathogens

The monster can be found

There's a monster in the Gowanus

A creature in the canal

In the pollution all around

The monster can be found
