Baby Just Be Mine

Lyrics:
There's something
I think you oughta know
Oh what's that?
You've heard it all before?
Well hot damn
Guess I can't
Argue against
that one
From what I surmise
Don't think I'm your type
Or is it more a case
Of once bitten twice shy?
Don't wanna waste your time
Not like those other guys
It's just that I like your style
Not gonna say 'Baby just be mine'
Oh XOXO
J’taime
Only you
and so and so and so
Saccharine candy hearts
Maybe that's all you've ever known
and so and so and so
I'm not a fly by night
No vampire, no poltergeist
Had enough of the games and lies
I’m chasing smile lines
Don't wanna waste your time
Not like all those other guys
It’s just that I like your style
Not gonna say 'Oh baby just be mine'
Yeah, you're special
but who isn't?
We're all of us
God's children
Don't wanna waste your time
Not like those other guys
It’s just that I like your style
Not gonna say 'Baby just be mine'
Baby just be mine
Baby just be mine
Not gonna say baby just be mine

Modern Art Masterpiece
03:07

|
Lyrics:
Oh here we go
Not again
Wouldya look at
This mess we're in?
Guess it's only natural
When ya both got the spins
Twisted sheets
A canvas for sin
Pretty ugly
Like a modern art masterpiece
Came out of the blue
It's true
There's a lot I don't understand
I'm under your spell
In a fugue
So darlin what's the plan?
Now when we walk
Hand in hand
I levitate
I transcend
Fly me to the moon
What, too much too soon?
It's not like I quoted Elvis to you
Wise men say what crooners croon
Came out of the blue
It's true
There's a lot I don't understand
I'm under your spell
In a fugue
So darlin what's the plan?
Came out of the blue
It's true
So darlin what's the plan?

Lose Myself in You
03:03
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Well, so now here we are
Taken it this far
Might as well be honest
I’m falling for you
I'm falling for you
Don't want another girl
Just wanna watch this love unfurl
Yeah, baby you're my world
Baby you're my world
Lose myself in you
God, I hope you feel it too
Yeah, so now here we are
Crossed the astral plane
Sharing the same heart
Lose myself in you
Lose myself in you
Think i've gone insane
Call me by your name
I wanna eat you
The body and the blood
Gnawing on myself
Never been in better health
Lose myself in you

Humanism's Cool
02:37
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
When I stare into your eyes
See my reflection, our lives flash by
Each tender kiss, each sweet aside
Milestones and quiet nights
Whoever said
Romance is dead?
Oh was that you?
Humanism’s cool
Can't wait till you're old and gray
Cause our love’s only gettin better with age
So beautiful, the one for me
Darlin you're my destiny
Our children they are so cute
One loves animals, one plays the flute
And the grandkids, well they’re even better
No hard work, just photos in sweaters
You don’t practice any faith
But I will love you just the same
So beautiful, the one for me
My humanist, my destiny?

There Was a Massacre
03:45
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
Hey there, babe
Why the long face?
Are you worried that you’ve
Made a mistake?
Try not to flinch
When we kiss
It’s not all flowers and candy
On this greeting card holiday
St. Valentine of Terni
Was a tortured martyr and
There was a massacre
There was a massacre
Need bees if you want the honey
There was a massacre
You ask yourself
'Is this it?'
This was not your idea of
Domestic bliss
Haha
Tsk tsk
It’s not all flowers and candy
On this greeting card holiday
St. Valentine of Terni
Was a tortured martyr and
There was a massacre
There was a massacre
Tell me how much you hate me
There was a massacre
You’ll burn it all down
If I don’t kneel to the crown
Wounded pride
Reveals the devil inside
Make haste
Lay waste
It’s not all flowers and candy
On this greeting card holiday
St. Valentine of Terni
Was a tortured martyr and
There was a massacre
There was a massacre
Run now before they see you
Red hands
A massacre

Favorite Bad Habit
03:47
|
|||
|
Lyrics:
My partner in crime
The Bonnie to my Clyde
My one, so divine
Lit a votive for you tonight
Are you out there?
Couldja please answer my prayer?
Come back
Come back
Come back
Where's my other half?
What's Pumpkin without Honey Bunny?
Jack Napier's no fun without Harley
Okay enough pop culture examples
Picture us laughing
After you broke my ankle
Fall back
Fall back
Wanna fall back
You're my favorite bad habit
Remember the rush?
The whirlwind, us breathless?
We both know nothin
Can compare to our best
Why dwell on our very worst spells?
We both won big
There’s no score to settle
Come back
Come back
Come back
Where’s my other half?
