shelter in place
baby i protect ya
i can make sure
that nothing can
ever fucking hurt
you if there was
a stranger walking
through our back-
-yard then i will
shoot him for you
even though i’ll
never use a gun
test me
make me work for it
could you maybe tell me
if i can do it best?
i’ll look at you in the rearview
as we’re flying across the space
like a rocket before we land—
spinning on the way
they got us on the back and front
going all the way
like the sunshine
spinning, i’m a loser
test me
make me work for it
could you maybe tell me
if i can do it best?
spinning on the way
they got us on the back and front
going all the way
like the sunshine
spinning, i’m a loser
shelter in place
baby i protect ya
i can make sure
that nothing can
ever fucking hurt
you if there was
a stranger walking
through our back-
-yard then i will
shoot him for you
even though i’ll
never use a gun
oh she moves water with her hands
throwing away all the toxins
i think that the devil was right
