Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
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 street, we're garden-variety oblivious
And you grab my hand and say in "I-told-you-so" voice
It's just how we expected
[Chorus]
Everything is doomed
And nothing will be spared
But I love you, Honeybear
Ooh
Ooh
Honeybear, Honeybear, Honeybear, ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
But everything is fine
Don't give into despair
'Cause I love you, Honeybear
[Outro]
Ooh
Oh
Honeybear, Honeybear, Honeybear
Oh, oh
Oh
