lyrics

[Verse 1]
6:30 in the morning, coffee’s looking like black milk
No poison in paradise, body’s covered in fat quilts
Woke up next to a dime who’s probably sleeping way past twelve
From a different realm, our fucking beauty cold cast spells
Greet the sluggish sun on its way to work
Shiny skin’s a passive buff they want to take the day to learn
Past that, been drumming up a lovable classic for fun
Hazy blur ‘til she smacks me with the ravishing hammer of love
Robe made of rose petals, thorny prick underneath
Reluctant détente with the chit-chat and the frivolous speech
But lay a chef’s-kiss soliloquy on the beat
Keep your claws out of my middling reach
Early-rising e-girl with a struggle beard
Call me breathtaking, papi’s not what I wanna hear
Smooth to the touch, clothes smelling like bergamot
As soon as it hits noon, shit, I might stir the pot

[Chorus]
Child of the sun, grew up in the AM
Make ‘em run, run, run ‘til the day ends
Let them stop, watching me one time
Child of the sun, pop, pop in the sunshine

[Verse 2]
Misconceived as bitter; texture in the eyes is lime marmalade
Pardon the glow, blinding, but drown in envy as soon as you start to gaze
The little green pill matches the iris
Kickstarting his fucking highness
Reckless driving in a car that isn’t mine
If the cops get me in a bind, then I’m Mr. Mime
Hit the vanish switch and lap the pissed and frazzled little swines
In a flashy fit to match the dingy whip I sit inside

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Wearing gold satin for fun around you late-sleepers in Gap vests
Even let the lagging world see my existence early-access
Elusive when the clock hands shake
Didn’t even leave a trace on MapQuest
Dropping pins just to break the seal
Pulling out stitches of time, I had to make a deal
Living in the amber hue of dawn every minute
But I sacrificed emotions that I guess I’ll have to wait to feel
Shit
