It’s too bad I’m leaving Who will tell you wrong now that I’ll be gone? All this worthless weeping Just sing a quiet song sprawled out on the lawn All my secrets sun-kissed You’re out of line, my Adaline, but I don’t mind I’m out of lights and out of sight, my Adaline Adaline, you kill me Quick, before I go, tell me I don’t know Angel in the rearview Singing out of key, you don’t belong to me But all your freckles sun-kissed You’re out of line, my Adaline, but I don’t mind Out of love and out of lights, my Adaline After a while I come back on all fours It eats me alive but reste mon amour I reread in detail what’s happened between us The world isn’t ending and no one will save us You’re out of line, my Adaline, but I don’t mind I’m out of lights and out of sight, my Adaline You’re out of line, my Adaline, but I don’t mind Out of love and out of lights, my Adaline

Werewolf 04:25
Fuck this fucking party Smoke some weed Stale cigarettes And she's a werewolf What a woman What a girl to fall in love with I said "I love you for, like, ever and forever" Then she parted from her body Shook the fur off Paralyzed me from the waist up Just fucking hold me closer You make me cry You make me beg I'm on my knees Just fucking hold me Fucking kiss me Fucking slap me 'till I'm red And, hey, you and me should just leave here I start to watch you in the mirror Pulling your stockings up slowly I think you look fucking holy I like to think you're happy Yellow light dim on my night stand I like to think I'm a new man Well, hahaha Ah! I'm Up! Shook the dust off I said things that I regret And I won't pay you Jesus loves you It's a full moon And I'm still covered in sweat Laying you down by the fire Sparks in your eyes are so pretty You look so fine in these dim lights You started shaking It's midnight I watched you Turn to A Werewolf! I watched the blood on her teeth now I felt her claws on my best suit Carried away in her paws now Here is my rock song to you Here is my rock song to you Here is my rock song to you

There's no longer dream than the one that keeps me sweating 'till the dawn There's no higher power keeping me from waking up on your lawn And oh! I ain't told a lie so undeniably untrue And when we kiss I sink my teeth deep into you I wanna draw blood from your pretty neck And then you'll sigh of relief I wanna cut you open so you don't have to see the part of me that I don't want you to see So once you're gone, I'll be good, we'll see There's no hunger that's as strong as the one that's runnin' through your veins There's no bastard who can take hold of you by your red-dyed reigns and God! I ain't ever heard a song sung so undeniably out of tune When you kissed my neck I felt your teeth too I wanna draw blood from your pretty neck And then you'll sigh of relief I wanna cut you open so you don't have to see the part of me that I don't want you to see So once you're gone, I'll be good, you'll see So come on help an owl out Come on help an owl out Come on help an owl now find it's way (repeat until you fucking die!) I wanna draw blood from your pretty neck And then you'll sigh of relief I wanna cut you open so you don't have to see the part of me that I don't want you to see So once you're gone, I'll be good, I may even be great! We'll see
