  • Ooh, ooh (love me, love me, love me, love me)
    Watching, watching (love me, love, me, love me)
    (Love me, love me)

    To the Moon Cave
    Where I bought my tears
    Lit the lantern
    On my childhood fears
    You must wash all your perfume from your body (in the Moon Cave)
    If you're leaving (if you're leaving)
    Don't make it harder than it is
    Let me know (let me know)
    So I can say goodbye (in the Moon Cave)
    You must wash all your perfume from your body (in the Moon Cave)

    Ooh, the things I swore I'd never become (in the Moon Cave)
    At the vastness of the river (in the Moon Cave)
    In the cradled light, they've done me
    You must wash all your perfume from your body (in the Moon Cave)

    Why am I taking so long?
    Why is my voice not strong now? (In the Moon Cave)
    It's been cut
    You will never recognize me again
    Have you travelled on a moonbeam?
    You must wash all your perfume from your body (in the Moon Cave)

    Ooh, the things I swore I'd never become
    And at the vastness of the river, uh
    In the cradled light, they've done me, but
    Ooh, I need, I need a better bond with you
    Oh, but that's if forever's coming
    Where the atoms gone with you?

    Things I swore I'd never become
    Yes, please
    Like a broken man
    Grinning beginnings
    Who realized what he has done
    One more time, from the top

    Yo, I can float like a butterfly, gimme any topic
    I'ma let it slide
    Bet you I'ma float like I'm in the sky
    Look at how I drop it
    When I let the ideas just float up high
    Like a new hot topic, good to be the goat
    Only way I float is to treat it like it's gossip and drop it
    Yeah, watch this
    Yo, I can float like no other god, gimme any topic
    I'ma let it ride, bet you I'ma float like I've been a vibe
    I'ma just drop it, yeah, check it
    Yo, I get telescopic for profit
    When I float topic to topic
    Is it hip hop? Is it Gothic?
    Can it fit into the corner pocket?
    Is it hovering above the surface?
    Is the pain where the megahertz is?
    Where the masjid, where the church is?
    Are the last days where the earth is?
    It's a movie, listen to me
    They have given the permission to me
    To move like Mr. Halloumi
    If I leave here, don't pursue me
    Let me float topic to topic
    From the posh tip to the mosh pit
    To the ghosts watching the folks clockin'
    The most popular optics
    Spread it all 'round, from the small town
    To the empires, finna fall down
    From the energy that brung the wall down
    Or the mothership gon' call down like Orson
    The heat gon' be scorching
    The beat gon' need voices
    That sound downright awesome
    What downtown like
    Different than the sounds y'all like
    Lemme break it down for 'em like
    Uh, hol' up

    Maybe I should just wait, just a little bit
    Forgetting bothers me
    Ooh
