  • Oh, Honeybear, Honeybear
    Honeybear, ooh
    Mascara, blood, ash and cum
    On the Rorschach sheets where we make love
    Honeybear, Honeybear
    Honeybear, ooh
    Fuck the world, damn straight malaise
    It may be just us who feel this way

    But don't ever doubt this, my steadfast conviction
    My love, you're the one I wanna watch the ship go down with
    The future can't be real, I barely know how long a moment is
    Unless we're naked, getting high on the mattress
    While the global market crashes
    As death fills the streets we're garden-variety oblivious
    You grab my hand and say in "I-told-you-so" voice
    "It's just how we expected"

    Everything is doomed
    And nothing will be spared
    But I love you, honeybear
    Ooh, ooh

    Honeybear, honeybear
    Honeybear, ooh
    Ooh, ooh

    You're bent over the altar and the neighbors are complaining
    That the misanthropes next door are probably conceiving a Damien
    Don't they see the darkness rising? Good luck fingering oblivion
    We're getting out now while we can
    You're welcome, boys, have the last of the smokes and chicken
    Just one Cadillac will do to get us out to where we're going
    I've brought my mother's depression
    You've got your father's scorn and a wayward aunt's schizophrenia

    But everything is fine
    Don't give into despair
    'Cause I love you, honeybear
    Ooh, oh

    Honeybear, honeybear
    Honeybear, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh Writer/s: Joshua Michael Tillman
