Joan of Arc

Take me away on your Harley
Out of this town to the sea
With all the things I ever say
You’re the only one who gets me
With all the hate they spread on us
Our love divine still fills our hearts
Let non-believers eat out dust
‘Till death do us apart
Every night I see this dream
Feel the flames all over me
I’m the spoiled brat, I am Joan of Arc
I’m the only star in the endless dark
And you’re the only one who sees, you’re the only one who sees
Oh, please don’t say you’ve changed your mind
‘Cause there’s no looking back tonight
And here I am, your reckless bride
Forever by your side
And I am proud to be a fool
Just breaking one more stupid rule
Our kiss will start a history
A history brand new
Every night I see this dream
Feel the flames all over me
I’m the spoiled brat, I am Joan of Arc
I’m the only star in the endless dark
And you’re the only one who sees, you’re the only one who sees
Who sees
Who sees me
Who believes
In me
Who sees
Who sees me
Who believes
In me

Manic Pixie Dream Girl

I like fireworks and fountains
Christmas light and rainy days
All the meaningless encounters
Big adventures, big mistakes
All the things I find romantic
Higher stakes and higher speed
Now you might find that attractive
But I am not the girl you need
I can be your manic pixie dream girl
I can be your mama's worst nightmare
With my fog, my ketamine, and my pearls
My love will only lead you to nowhere
I’ve been to so many places
To madhouse and Monaco
I’ve been missing your embraces
And not answering your calls
You and your quarter life crisis
All your worries and complaints
Fade in fireworks and fountains
Christmas light and rainy days
I can be your manic pixie dream girl
I can be your mama's worst nightmare
With my fog, my ketamine, and my pearls
My love will only lead you to nowhere
This love will only lead you to nowhere
I can be your manic pixie dream girl
I can be your mama's worst nightmare
With my fog, my ketamine, and my pearls
This love will only lead you to nowhere
This love will only lead you to nowhere
This love will only lead you to nowhere

With all the dirty tricks you do
You’re lucky that I didn’t fall in love with you
I like boys acting up so cold
Yeah, they’re treating me mean and they’re treating me bold
But lately the games were turning me blue
Last night I was looking for something new
You’re lucky that I didn’t fall in love with you
And I don’t even want you to fall for me
I consider that my personal victory
You’ve probably heard that I’m totally mad
And I ruined each guy that I ever had
Didn’t capture you with my black widow kiss
She tasted my venom on your lips
You’re lucky that you didn’t fall in love with me
At every party that I threw
You wonder why I didn’t even call you
Stay away if you wanna survive
‘Cause I be eating bad boys like you alive
It feels funny explaining it all to you
But with the playing hard to get that you do
You’re lucky that I didn’t fall in love with you

I’ll give you a lap dance honey
The one that you deserve
I’ve been such a bad bitch honey
Been getting on your nerve
You treat me nice sugar
You give me all I need
Sometimes I go crazy but I
Would never lie or cheat
Baby scorpion
Get drunk on my sweet sweet poison
Baby scorpion
Get high on my sweet sweet love
My life is a garbage fire
You clean up all my mess
So lucky to have you hubby
You give me all the best
And all I can give is kisses
And roller coaster rides
But I’ll be the perfect mistress
If only for tonight
Baby scorpion
Get drunk on my sweet sweet poison
Baby scorpion
Get high on my sweet sweet love
Sweet love
Sweet love

Venus Flytrap

Oh my heart is cold just like a lonely winter night
But having you around is somehow such a great delight
Oh I am not in love, I’m not in love, not even close
In sweetest of my dreams I do become the death of yours
Close your eyes, give me a kiss
Open them and you’ll realize this
You’re a butterfly in a spiderweb
Little fly in a Venus flytrap
With my skin soft like peaches and my lips just like a rose
A pretty insect like you won’t see danger that I pose
Oh I want you to lose your sleep to suffer and to burn
I know it sounds violent but it’s all I’ve ever known
Close your eyes, give me a kiss
Open them and you’ll realize this
You’re a butterfly in a spiderweb
Little fly in a Venus flytrap
Close your eyes, give me a kiss
Open them and you'll realize this
You’re a butterfly in a spiderweb
Little fly in a Venus flytrap

Kink

I remember the day
When my art turned profane
For the first time in life
I enjoyed that pain
Microdosing love
Like that LSD
Just a big more than needed
As always with me
Sometimes it feels like making mistakes is my kink
But really I was just trying out a new thing
And maybe I should’ve stayed forever with you
But before I left I just never knew
You’ve set my soul on fire
With your poetry
Ever since I can’t write
A word of my own, you see
Tomorrow you’ll wake up
And I will be gone
But wherever I go
You’re still my number one
Sometimes it feels like making mistakes is my kink
But really I was just trying out a new thing
And maybe I should’ve stayed forever with you
But before I left I just never knew
Honestly I am in some kind of aesthetic crisis
‘Cause loving you for such a long time paralyzes

Going Everywhere
03:51
|

When I was a little girl my dream was going everywhere
To every possible place
That’s how my life wouldn’t feel like a waste
So I’ve got an unhealthy habit of hopping on the airplanes
Chasing after something I can’t explain
Sometimes it is money but more often it is love
And maybe right now I am floating up above
Sometimes it is money but I prefer when it is love
And maybe right now I am floating up above you
Lately I’ve been thinking that there is something more to life
Than writing silly songs
Of how I don’t belong
I question my ideals but somehow they are still the same
And once again I’m on that airplane
Sometimes it’s for money but I prefer when it’s for love
And maybe right now I am floating up above
Sometimes it’s for money but I prefer when it’s for love
And maybe right now I am floating up above you
It’s funny how the world’s so big and so tiny at the same time
I get so lost in the clouds as I fly
You’re telling me it’s shallow just enjoying all the views
But you have spent the last decade in this very room
And I don’t think I ever wanna be like you
Well, sometimes it’s for money but I prefer when it’s for love
And maybe right now I am floating up above
Sometimes it’s for money but I prefer when it’s for love
And maybe right now I am floating up above you

You don't know me
03:34

You don’t know me
All you have is a vision of me
Like a faraway planet
Life a fever dream
You don’t love me
All you love is a feeling of me
‘Cause I know how to put on a show
Or else I wouldn’t be here
And there’s nothing wrong with that
I just really enjoy the fact
That I’m perfect inside your head
The most interesting girl you’ve met
You don’t know me
All the times that they didn’t like me back
You don’t know my heart
That’s so easy to break
You don’t need me
But admit that I might be some fun
So enjoy me
‘Cause sooner than you think I will be gone
You have absolutely no idea
What it took me to get in here
And how desperately I cried
On the day when Bowie died
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t know me
You don’t want to know
You don’t want to know
Mmmm
