Rooney, I've been watching this movie 'Cause you look so much like the actress And I look just like the actor, but I never watched the ending, 'cause I was too scared to find out what happens What if they don't end up happy? Super blood wolf moon Lie on the ice and fall right through The stars are falling right into Your outstretched hand Super blood wolf moon The stars are falling right into Your outstretched hand and fall right through Like sand Rooney said we should tell our own story In the front hall of her house She said in our story, we don't end up together 'cause "I'm packin my bags and I'm headed south I'm headed over the snowbank in my driveway and I'm headed out!" Super blood wolf moon Lie on the ice and fall right through The stars are falling right into Your outstretched hand Super blood wolf moon The stars are falling right into Your outstretched hand and fall right through Like sand Now, Rooney's not my girl, and she never was, it's true My best friend is a blue VW And Rooney said "Do I contradict myself? Very well, then I contradict myself, I am large and I contain multitudes" Under the Super Blood Wolf Moon Super blood wolf moon Lie on the ice and fall right through The stars are falling right into Your outstretched hand Super blood wolf moon The stars are falling right into Your outstretched hand and fall right through Like sand

Hot Soap 04:09
Your skin is hot like the pavement That carried me to right here in your bed Pressed against your frame, wet and naked My arms wrap around you, pressing you closer to my chest, and It's there that I notice a myriad of strings Protruding from your spine and so I start to play and sing Hot soap Melting through canals where children play Burn until my essence burns away Rushing down the river toward the lake Toward the lake Hot Soap! Hot Soap! Hot Soap! On colder days I go to get a coffee Or press my face into the Fort Point water Now, it's kinda cold outside but you're bundled like it's minus ten degrees And I've still got sweat beneath my collar And it's there that I notice a line of ivory keys Protruding from your flank and so I play my melody Hot soap Melting through canals where children play Burn until my essence burns away Rushing down the river toward the lake Toward the lake Hot Soap! Hot Soap! Hot Soap! And It's there that I notice a line of ivory keys Protruding from your flank and so I play my melody Hot Soap Melting through canals where children play Burn until my essence burns away Rushing down the river toward the lake Toward the lake Hot Soap I know how new sunrises are made The horizon and Atlantic procreate You and me could make another day Another day Hot Soap! Hot Soap! Hot Soap!

I talked to May on the phone yesterday and she said That she can't remember the first time that we met And I was able to remind her of the exact time and the exact place and the exact date And she only smiled at me But it was over the phone so I couldn't see 'Cause I'm in love with May, not you Every single day, I choose To love from far away, oh, it's true That I'm in love with May Not you Now, I'm so very in love with May, but she always goes away She stays in my bed for, oh, I don't know, about 31 days? And every eleven months she's back, talkin' about how she regrets all her mistakes And I know you'd never treat me that way But I'm in love with May, not you Every single day, I choose To love from far away, oh, it's true That I'm in love with May Not you Have you ever noticed I only fall in love with you at bars? I don't call you in the sunlight, only the reddish glow of Mars Have you ever noticed I only fall in love with you in winter? And if you try to stay, I'll kick you out into the blizzard 'Cause I'm in love with May, not you Every single day, I choose So don't believe a word that I say it's not true I'm in love with May, not you You You
