I finally found someone who wants to eat me
but I don't want to be eaten
but I want to be wanted to be eaten
Am I asking for too much now?
Tell me darling, truly
I finally found someone who's got the equipment
and they know how to use it
but I'm not equipped to know how to be used by it
Am I in for way too much now?
Tell me darling, truly
I finally found someone I want to eat me but I don't want them to think that I want them and only them to eat me
CHORUS:
Am I asking for too much?
Am I in for way too much?
Am I holding back too much?
If I'm asking for too much
If I'm in for way too much
If I'm I holding back too much
You'd tell me, right?
I finally found someone who's gonna caramelize me and I won't lie that I don't care
unless I care to be lied to
I've always wanted way too much now
I finally found someone who wants to be lied to but I don't want to lie but I need you to want to be lied to
CHORUS
I finally found someone who's gonna help me
by helping themselves to a helping of me
thereby having some of me on me

I've been running twice a day
I eat only brown rice (just not after 8pm)
My goals are clearer, you'd approve
And in the bathroom mirror, I've come to look like you
I no longer forget my garters at sleepovers
And if I were to, I wouldn't come back for them
Now if I truly fancy someone, I won't go blabbing
I'm gonna keep 'em wanting and never having
Looking back, you were wiser
I wouldn't love the old me either
Chorus:
All this time spent bettering myself / has been so much better than had I been
going on the dumb assumption that I was good enough
I don't ask for pity from anyone, least of all myself
'Cause how could anyone get anything done by needing someone to love them
So thanks for nothing, literally
How was the last flame? Did you have a ball
and are you as chagrinned as I am that I think of you at all
Back to the first verse re: hallucination: the field blurs and whirrs but the train's not left the station
Looking back, I was wiser
to bum a light and flee the fire

We All Move to Brooklyn

Hey
Been a long time since I've seen your face
I was just about to ask
"How've you been?"
But before I could,
You jumped in with a
"Where are you living these days?"
I said "I'm one block away from the J,
a couple stops past the Williamsburg Bridge from Manhattan" and you said:
"don't you find it odd that we all move to Brooklyn in the end?"
Hey, this Big Apple's been had by worms
It doesn't look all that tasty now
So I guess you could say that this was my choice and I'll have you know
It's not cause the rents were high
They're actually higher here
I pay for the distance from the advertising
And you said:
"Do you think that when we die,
Our souls move to Brooklyn
That our souls fly to Brooklyn
That we all move to Brooklyn
When we die?"
Plus I heard your mom, she too moved to Brooklyn, and the word on the street is Wall Street's moving to Brooklyn, too
Why?
Because we all move to Brooklyn

Moonshine Melody
Don’t rush to try to please me
I’ve been dry long enough and I tell you another night won’t kill me
All the little indications couldn’t protect me from the primitive thrill of a slow reveal
When you and I stumble in closer, it only has the reverse effect
Then you get brave and splash waves in my face
While it might get us wet, it’ll only leave us with a kiss that I can’t do nothing with
So go on and sing your moonshine melody somewhere else ‘cuz I won’t be pining by the dawn
This duet could get too good for bootlegged harmonies, so bottle it up until the morn
Bottle it up now
What, have you been saving up your song
For one drunk moment to waste it on?
At any earlier hour, I wouldn’t’ve been sour
Had it been by the terrace, I’d not’ve gone embarrassed
Goddamned poor thing, god damn! What have you been waiting for all of this time?
There was a time that I’d make do with a kiss that I can’t do nothing with
So go on and sing your moonshine melody somewhere else ‘cuz I won’t be pining by the dawn
This duet could get too good for bootlegged harmonies, so
Bottle it up until the morn
Bottle it up now
Music and lyrics written by Natti Vogel
Produced and arranged by Mike Tierney

Love for a Limited Time Only
I’m just staid in the corner
With the lines still stuck in the modem
You got your hipster boys, they're so boned up
with their gazes saying “I’m on fire”
But does it get better?
Now that the lights no longer shy away in the winter
And is it worse than worse or for better?
II you don’t know by now
then I must be going, must go back
To this same day of the last year
I had counted the waves from the window
Get down, sing it out, Louise, bowl ‘em over
Cause this is Love for a Limited Time Only
It’s always someone else’s mess
That pays for our oasis now
Kaufman pours us some coffees
Miss Baker’s inventing fiancées
I never know which one to pity
When I’ve got a life supply and it runs so dear
Would you be an angel?
Hand me that pendant with the vintage dimple
And tell me now: is that not a woman?
If you don’t know by now
I must be going, must go back
To this same day of the last year
I had counted a string of Octobers
Get down, sing it out, Louise, bowl ‘em over
‘Cause this is Love for a Limited Time Only
It’s always someone else’s mess that pays for our oasis now
Her voice is thick, full of money, rich with melody
Old money is full of dying leaves
New money is sticky like the syrup from its trees….
But I’m still stuck in the bushes
Reading the shapes in the windows
Get down sing it out, Louisville is over
Cause this was Love for a Limited Time Only
It’s always someone else’s mess that pays for your oasis now
