Squid are cephalopods of the order Teuthida, which comprises around 304 species. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms arranged in pairs and two, usually longer, tentacles. Squid are strong swimmers and certain species can "fly" for short distances out of the water.
Squid are members of the class Cephalopoda, subclass Coleoidea, order Teuthida, which has two major suborders, Myopsina and Oegopsina (including giant squid such as Architeuthis dux). Teuthida is the largest cephalopod order with around 300 species classified into 29 families.
The order Teuthida is a member of the superorder Decapodiformes (from the Greek for "ten legs"). Two other orders of decapodiform cephalopods are also called squid, although they are taxonomically distinct from Teuthida and differ recognizably in their gross anatomical features. They are the bobtail squid of order Sepiolida and the ram's horn squid of the monotypic order Spirulida. The vampire squid, however, is more closely related to the octopuses than to any squid.
It's friday night and i'm tired of searching for this life
The week's been cruel to me, i just want to feel alright
All over town the word's been going around
And where i want to be is wherever you'll be found
Now it takes up nearly all of my time
And i need, i need some way
I need some way to get you off my mind
Sometimes when you get close to me
It brings me close to heaven, but i can't get in
No no no, and the more you shy away from me
To search for something better, it hurts me so
But i don't know cause i'm the squid
Now all this time i wait for you to realize
I'll treat you lovingly, so open up your eyes
And once again i say i need you my friend
Touch your lips to me and i'll be your cigarette
I know i love you so
But i don't know and i can't know
