rustic, you came to me
splayed on your steed
must've been some kind of harrowing,
judging by ah, ah (ah, ah)
the way that you bleed
I do apologize
if I didn't aim,
but I had to execute–
I shot what was there
(shot what, shot what, shot what was there
(chorus)
What were we, on the out & out?
Did you get your message from the gods?
Did they tell you how to clean the cut?
Couldn't you just summon them from the Holy Lawn?
Cause now you're in a bad way, honey
Got the gates locked, I'm gonna take a load off
I can't have you watching from the stairs–
Messing up my, messing up my hair
straight off the battlefield
crimson aglow
must've been some kind of struggle,
I'm judging by ah, ha (ah, ah, ah)
the way that you don't-
I know it's hard to watch
and I shouldn't stare
but I do apologize
for the eyes in my head
(for the, for the, eyes in my head)
(chorus)
What were we, on the out & out?
Did you get your message from the gods?
Did they tell you how to clean the cut?
Couldn't you just summon them from the Holy Lawn?
Cause now you're in a bad way, honey
Got the gates locked, I'm gonna take a load off
I can't have you watching from the stairs–
Messing up my, messing up my hair
(Messing up my hair)
lover, I told you I's serious
when I came to this duel
don't make me prove all my qualities
I'll make you the fool, I'll make you the fool
I will, I- I'l make you the fool
I'll make you the-
what could she do to you,
to cause you to stray
must be one soul-grabbing succubus mother,
I guess by, (bye bye bye) the way that you fade
straight off the battlefield
your flags all a-tear
baby, come back to me
and I'll stitch you a prayer
(shot what, shot what, shot what was there)
(chorus)
What were we, on the out & out?
Did you get your message from the gods?
Did they tell you how to clean the cut?
Couldn't you just summon them from the Holy Lawn?
Cause now you're in a bad way, honey
Got the gates locked, I'm gonna take a load off
Oh but how I'd love to have you there–
Messing up my, messing up my hair
