Baby

Little one, sugar plum

Licking butter off the barrel of a gun Sing to me, sweet Eurydice

It’s hot in hell but she’s having fun

I flutter by, flippant as a butterfly

Hurling hurricanes at heaven

But heaven’s too high

Got a little scorpion living in my lung

Every day he draws me seven circles with his tongue (yum!)

First I drink the water

The water is wicked, the water is you It takes me there,

And there is the truth

I’m never gunna be your Baby

Maybe it’s for the best

Cus I’m a hot mess Gilgamesh of my own precious odyssey And honestly, my baby

M-m-my makeshift mythology

Is where you’re gunna find me, baby It took an aeon to define me, baby

You and me found a melody

But I am a symphony

No, you can’t bring me back

I’ll push you off the table like a housecat (How’d you like that?)

Be everything that you wished for, A-typically equipped for

Being the person I hated

Why is it so complicated?

Be everything that you wished for, A-typically equipped for

Being the person I hated

Why is it so complicated? (B-A-B-Y!)

First I drink the water

The water is wicked, the water is you It takes me there,

And there is the truth

I’m never gunna be your Baby

Maybe it’s for the best

Cus I’m a hot mess Gilgamesh of my own precious odyssey And honestly, my baby

M-m-my makeshift mythology

Is where you’re gunna find me, baby

It took an aeon to define me, baby

First I drink the water

The water is wicked, the water is you

Then I give you seven sons and six daughter I’m a rib, I’m an egg, I’m a heart, I’m a bruise He will come save me

From myself

And when I think about time

And my lack of it, I let you snack on it I cry, my iron eyes

Sad as Sunday afternoon

Salt of the earth in my wound

(Did you hear that?)

I’m never gunna be your Baby

Maybe it’s for the best

Cus I’m a hot mess Gilgamesh of my own precious odyssey And honestly, my baby

M-m-my makeshift mythology

Is where you’re gunna find me, baby

It took an aeon to define me, baby
