VERSE (1)
curtains open, you got your program
You know how the story goes
I take'em high, you take me home
back to the fortress
with bats & war heads
if you got lost in whatchu saw
you should know that after all

HOOK
Ain’t nothin but Drama
I’m just playing a part
when I’m feelin the spotlight
I see nothin but stars
ain’t tryin to cause problems
when I stumble I fall
guess that’s just Drama
and I give it my all

VERSE (2)
fame and fortune
is for the moment
kick the rye back like a poem/patrone
Oscar Wilde with lights & chrome
so get your toast in
here’s to an old friend
in the night like Jaques Cousteau
I leave/trade the island to come home

HOOK

BRIDGE
I play the game although it's grungy
and the rules feel like jumanji
but once we embark then there aint no stopping
that’s the way daddy taught me.

it don’t take too much to love me
but a chainsaw, trust & coffee
as the spotlight burns
like mama that hurts
I have faith there’s more above me

HOOK

Verse (1)
Girl you feel like china white
make every nerve and fiber rise
the way you rush inside my mind
surprised I got this high tonight
but I’m fine to drive to a time you like
since laws by space and time defined
apply to all, but trust me doll, not you and I

Hook

baby from 9 to 5 AM our stars align
rock on from side to side
round and round like fireflies
she wants it all the time
wet dreams & lullabies
I give it my all tonight
the way I have her calling like

Verse (2)
flap your wings that close to me
I’ll chase that wind like you wont believe
what exactly dear are we s’posed to be
if not the only keys to our dopamine

like therapy, mentally
but more than that, it’s meant to be
physically, when beat that thang like a tambourine, like alchemy, my recipe
set you free *PAUSE* from the pest that is your dress you see
less is more and "flesh is me” / flesh are we, why else would I give you the best of me

and if you never leave and stretch out the now
I’ll wrap all in towels
let’s drench our whole house
in sweat from our brows

Hook

Verse (1)
Love, is it too late to let you in?
Trade all your love for (my) sins?
I'm to repent
Take, if all requests are genuine
take me back and hand me wings
just like a cherobim

Pre-Chorus
And as I'm floating away
forget how I used to pray..

Hook
Love, we're far from Eden
but I like it, truth be told
babe, I'm such a heathen
in just the right way
there's room to grow

Verse (2)
Love, is it too late for us to mend?
I treated sermons like a prank
guess I could stay for a drink?
Oooh I take another pill
Cause I love the way it feels
But there ain't nothing like the real thing

Pre-Chorus
And as I'm floating away
forget how I used to say..

Hook

Bridge
No, it's not enough (8x)

Verse (1)

when I stare into your eyes
I see the world that's behind
in commotion, in commotion
And it’s just about time to
follow that worry line to the coast and into ocean
I know you’ve been restless
clingin onto stress, but drown it in the bliss I bring

trouble and your red dress
leave it at the doorstep
Don’t worry about a single thing…

Hook (2x)

Just Jump Right In
Just Jump Right In
Just Jump Right In
And leave some room for me if you can

Verse (2)

don’t you worry bout a thing
cause you know Ill keep you safe like an oyster
every boy in the world knows
the prize is a pearl if you hoist her, from the moisture
boy cause …

I know watchu came for
baby let that rain pour
we can take our love upstream
floating like a light heart
I will be your lifeguard
common babe and jump right in

Hook (2x)

Just Jump Right In
Just Jump Right In
Just Jump Right In
And leave some room for me if you can

Bridge

Is there something in the water?
That keeps you holding out on me?
If so I’ll promise to give proper
Mouth-to-mouth if you can’t breathe

Hook

Verse (1)
(it's) the rocky horror picture show
tossed into an open road
wondering if someone might be home
taught to love these open doors
can i stay for supper as I'm lost

well of course now step right in
just in time we've just begun
there are two more seats left choose just one

there's no rush no telephones
if you stay we'll crack your bones by dawn

Hook (2x)
will/won't make it out of here alive
these eyes these lips they never lie.
time in this box is split entirely with
my friends who may seem impolite

Verse (2)
time is fleeting I'm still here
thinking as the walls come near
I'd rather keep to myself in here
though I'm sure I'm not alone the
one i came with left me in the cold

tell the host the pleasure’s mine, but
I left all of my things behind my
welcome's overstayed
and overtime

someone will come look for me
might be better wouldn't you agree...

...wouldn't you agree…

Hook (2x)

Summer's gone, but you can be my winter lovin
summer's gone, but you can be mine
the world stops spinning when you open you're eyes my darlin
what a beautiful soul, you deserve your own island

Verse (Thutmose)
So Trust me,
I'll give you that,
Heartbeat,
Moving fast,
The only way I know is the only
Way you're heading

Don't fear me
That's why I'm running, running just looking for ya
All I wanted
Was a morning
With u honey
You see I'm drowning
Tryna make your love surround me
Hoping u never look down on me
Just waiting for the summer to end

Summer's gone, but you can be my winter lovin

Verse (NoMBe)
Won't you love me? i'll be
the only one, gods speed
holy grail and i know if our time was up tomorrow
I'd pull you near me, now that's real heat
and spin you like a bottle baby spin you like serato
let me walk you through the golden age, diamond days, purple haze
and show you as the summer fades the difference between night and day
and don't you worry bout time and a place
it's a matter of finding the present and livin and guessin the crescent has risen for Oliver Twist in a matter of days.

Hook/Bridge (Thutmose)
Summer's gone, but you can be my winter lovin
summer's gone, but you can be the angel that fell from the sky when I saw you at first
And it wasn't a dream, and I knew it was you that I saw when I saw what I saw and I conquer my fears
And I'm running for joy
And you begging for mercy and I'm begging for more

Hook
Summer's gone, but you can be my winter lovin
summer's gone, but you can be mine
the world stops spinning when you open you're eyes my darlin
what a beautiful soul, you deserve your own island

Hook

See me down the street

But you can’t get close cause I’m much too fast

And I’m much too loud
And I’m so caught up
Now, is it me or my luck?
Can’t get enough

Feed on alchemy and I’m running petrol through my blood

It’s a magic touch
Now watch me go
And I feed off your love
Can’t get enough

See me running my last breath on “e”
Can’t seem to cool it, all this precious heat
Ooh and I won’t slow down
Ooh, but I dare you to catch me (ah-ah)

Ooh Can’t Catch Me, baby (2x)

Hook

My baby is a freak like me and she knows just what I like
she carries all the keys to the places that no-one dares to find
she won’t tell nobody, what goes on within these walls
if they talked they’d probably tell you all about love

Verse (1)

my queen got machine gun hips better duck once they go off
takes aim no intentions to miss, oh my so help us all
and its close to a fight in midst of neon lights
and neighbors they greet me with bags under their eyes

and you know why
Hook/Pre-Chorus

My baby is a freak like me and she knows just what I like
she carries all the keys to the places that no-one dares to find

Outro

Verse (1)

-Drop-

Verse (2)
I want to get away

a pair of hasty vultures

Never gon’ be friends (4x)

Verse (2)

I’m burning novels online

only skulls and bones left
and these laws apply
till the end of me

Verse (2) continued

its wild if i think about it
our lives are tied yet divided
it might be fine, but I doubt it
boo, you know you’re too sensitive

you’re right to despise surprises
and why I might think you like it
in spite of feeling uninvited
no matter how I beg or plead you still made damn sure we

Chorus

Never gon’ be friends
She made damn sure we
Never ton’ be friends (3x)

Tired woods and ol' leaves
Try to rise above sea
They've been crouching and sobbing for days
As my garden grows aches
And the turf drinks old rain
Now their bodies are dancing always

Imaginary hands folding over you
I've been missing night time the whole day through
Call her Miss Mirage cause it's over there's not way to hold her
Pinch me in my shoulder
Wake me when it's over

Counting wolves and old sheep
Watch them sharpen those teeth
Crude from the walls of no sleep

Counting wolves and old apes
Through the glass where I'm safe
Free at last, time to rest my sore brain

Glance to fallen Grace
Dream of islands all day
Now her eyelids are silent till she wakes

Imaginary hands folding over you
I've been missing night time the whole day through
Call her Miss Mirage cause it's over there's not way to hold her
Pinch me in my shoulder
Wake me when it's over
...

I might do something stupid if I don't get close to you I
I might do something stupid if I can't get to you I

I miss You so, I miss You so much You have no idea I
I miss You so, I miss You so much girl don't have no I
I miss You so, I might do something stupid if I don't get
Get close to you if I don't...

Verse (1)
She loves the sunlight
how it paints on her soft skin
takes care of those tan line
scar tissue from the morphine

Hook

Baby don't you know you are stardust
and you're a long long way from home, way from home
(So) Baby brush it off like it's sawdust
or you'll spend the California days alone, days alone.

those California Girls got me outside all night

this is the last straw
take it off
this is the last straw
why don't you take it all

Verse (2)

She ain't never seen the zoo
with the monkey on her back
they'd arrest her at the booth
and then sell her to the lab
put a label on the box that says
treat is like it's glas
if she gets one scratch her parents
never take her back
to be honest
she's a liar full of promise
she thinks her Rolex makes her timeless.
her famous friends think she's harmless
I'd burn the bridge with her on it.

(California girls got me outside all night)

Pinned down, pinnacle
she looks like a centerfold sinner, cynical (baby)
Oh my, make her moan, amateur, barritone
sex drive, like animals (baby)

Ooh how I like the smell of west coast pheromones (2x)
